What Jamie Saw by Carolyn Coman is written in the third-person narrative, limited omniscient. The story is told for the most part from eight-year-old Jamie's point of view. By using this approach, the author is able to poignantly portray the tender feelings and confusions of a child who had been subjected to abuse and who had witnessed the potential brutal injury of his baby sister. The reader is privy to a child's thoughts and emotions and his struggle to find a safe place after a life-changing and threatening event.
