Discuss this relationship between narrative perspective and meaning in the following work: The Xala. Some questions to consider

The topic of this paper is the one who tells a story and the perspective from which s/he tells it is central to the way a story constructs meaning. Discuss this relationship between narrative perspective and meaning in the following work: The Xala. Some questions to consider: Who is the narrator(s) and how is s/he positioned in relation to the story s/he tells? Is s/he a character in the story or does s/he appear to be outside it? Are we encouraged to identify with the narrator and / or believe his/her version of events? Or does the text suggest limits to the narrator’s point of view and reasons for questioning his/her reliability? What seem to be the narrator’s values and/or biases? How do these influence your understanding of the story? In short, how does the narrator’s identity, use of language, and point of view contribute to the meaning or your interpretation of the story?
