PrivateIceMule27 This discussion follows from the reading of ZZ Packer’s story…This discussion follows from the reading of ZZ Packer’s story “Every Tongue Shall Confess.” This week examines the elements of fiction; for this discussion post, focus on the terms relating to character types and perspective in fiction. Compose a strong paragraph of at least two hundred fifty words which makes a case for who the protagonist and antagonist are in Packer’s story. The protagonist may seem obvious but there are several possibilities for antagonist (including it not being a person in the story but some other element, remember that antagonist can include non-human factors such as the weather or circumstances). Identify the type of  perspective (first, second, etc) used in the story and discuss how this perspective enhances the protagonist’s central conflict. Lastly, provide your own opinion of the effectiveness of this perspective for presenting this story. Image transcription textZZ PACKER Every Tongue Shall Confess A s Pastor Everett madethe announcements that began the ser- vice, Clareese Mitchellstood with her choir members, know- ing that once ag… Show more… Show more Image transcription textFILTLIEEIISEIARL’S She would never forget—never. never.never—the day he came to the hospital where she worked: shewas still wearing her white nurse’s uniform. and he’d s… Show more… Show more Image transcription textZZ PACKER she’d told the other nurses at University Hospitalthat she would not join their betting pool to predict who wouldget married first, Patty or Edwina.
