Stepmother´s mama: "She has a narrow, sallow face, enormous dark eyes, and two withered flaps of skin dangling from her neck, which gives her the appearence of a very alert, discerning hunting dog"
3) What narrative technique? Provide evidence.
The point of view is a first person view, because the narrator is a
character , this can be seen in the quote: "I didn`t go to school
today."
The narration is an indirect one, because he is telling the story, but
not to the reader, he is just telling it. Can be seen in the quote used
before.
It uses a direct speech, because of the uses of speech marks and dialogues between characters.
The
story is in past tense during this chapter, as if he wrote it during
the night of that day, in the quote used we can see that is in past.

In
this chapter they are in the city of Budapest, Hungary, in which the

but he takes the day off. Then he goes to his father shop. After that
