Help, Thanks, Wow
What is the narrator point of view in the nonfiction book, Help, Thanks, Wow?
.
.
This book is narrated in the first-person perspective from the point of view of the author, Anne Lamott. This perspective is appropriate and works well because through the course of the story, Lamott tells how she developed from a child whose parents discouraged prayer to an adult who finds comfort and meaning in prayer.
Lamott’s perspective is very subjective. She tells her own story of growing up in a home where religion was not taught. She also tells of struggles she has faced as an adult; including dealing with a sick mother and facing the loss of a treasured pet. The emotion that Lamott puts into these stories shows how deeply they affected her.
