Matthew Mecl’s Reviews > The Tale of Despereaux > Status Update

POINT OF VIEW: In my book the tale of Despereanx is told in a 3rd person narration limited. This is because the narrator is limited on how many characters feelings they know and what they think. This narration is limited by 1 person being Despereanx because he's the only one the narrator can read and know there feelings off of. On page 56, the narrator says "But Despereanx was sad, you could not see it but he was"

CHARACTERZATION: Despereaux the main character has mutipul times where he shows his characterzation but one of the times is when he, Despereaux vs. Mouse Council (Conformity): where Despereaux falls in love with Princess Pea and refuses to act like a scavenger mouse, leading his community to banish him to the dungeon. making him change as a character and showing how his character was built because of that.

CHARACTERIZATION: Main character, Despereaux has characterization in mutipule times in the story. One example is Despereaux vs. Mouse Council (Conformity): Despereaux falls in love with Princess Pea and refuses to act like a scavenger mouse, leading his community to banish him. This makes hi m change and survive by him self, this is one of the examples that shows his characterization in the book.

What I think, when I visualize the setting or smell of the book and where it takes place, I visualize how it smells like an old house, if you get it, then you would agree with me. I know an old house doesn't have a smell but its kinda another visualization for the person reading this. I also imagine the story in a big medieval castle and the time line in that. Page 24 and other pages tell us about the visualization.
