Document Summary
8 years between colonial stories and the review of mander. False wrappings = artificial attempt to localise a piece of fiction trying to make it new. Glimpse of what she really felt and knew . Lived new zealand reality rather than an idea of it the story can"t take place anywhere else due to how it feels. To capture a character the writer should not concentrate on external details but recreate the working of that character"s consciousness. Viewing how the character looks on the world rather than how the world looks on the character. Limited narration on the characters emotions allows the reader to discover themselves. An example of this is the character of harry potter. He is created in a way that the reader could imagine a scenario and think of what harry would do in a particular situation. The image doesn"t just stop at his physical appearance with his glasses/scar etc.
