American Author Blog Post #5

Some thematic and or stylistic threads that I've noticed in reading my second book are the following. Actually I've not really noticed much of anything that has to do with this writing prompt question but I have noticed some other things. She has chosen to write this book with several narrarators which goes with the way she wrote The Color Purple where she is daring to be different as opposed to most American literature that we might read. For example, she dares to different in The Color Purple by writing the book in a style that people may talk from where she is from or how they indeed did speak in that manner explained in one of my previous blog entries, and this goes the same for for this book in the fact that she is in fact daring to be different and writes her story with many different narrarators which is something we don't normally see. I've read up to maybe page 50 or so so far in the novel By the Light of My Father's Smile if I can remember correctly because I am writing this as late work and am going off of memory because that's all I have to go off of.
