Narrative Structure / The Bluest Eye

Everything tends to have a structure, when we think about it. We know that authors such as Toni Morrison have a gift to entertain their audience. He knows very well how to build up his order of events so he can have engage his audience at all times. We know that he follows the typical structure, exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and finally the resolution. Toni Morisson at the biggining of this novel The Bluest Eye introduces various points of view  to the reader and like this he triggers the readers curiosity. Going on he introduces characters by telling us their behaviors and suggest why they act the way the act. All though we might think he doesn't follow the general plot structure he plays around with the chronological structure by going from the past to the present and so on. This makes it more entertaining since the reader will notice that he/ she must be paying attention, like this they won't get lost. To wrap up the narrative structure takes part in many novels such as this one mentioned before, one must remember that the narrative structure is all about the order of events, point of view, conflict development,  and last but not least resolution.
