Cujo's growl rose to a shattering roar of rage and he charged at her. Her feet almost skidded out from under her in the loose gravel, and she was only able to recover by slamming her arm down on the Pinto's hood. She hit her crazybone and uttered a thin shriek of pain. The car door was shut. She had shut it herself, automatically, after getting out. The chromed button below the handle suddenly seemed dazzlingly bright, winking arrows of sun into her eyes. I'll never be able to get that door open and get in and get it shut, she thought, and the choking realization that she might be about to die rose up in her. Not enough time. No way. " The author makes the readers feel nervous and adds tension when Donna freezes up, thinks negatively, falls and bumps onto many things. This creates tension when Cujo is casing Donna while she is staggering all over the place and the readers feel as if Cujo will spring onto Donna at any moment because she is so slow. When the author says that "the dog was looking at her, not at a woman who just happened to be trapped in her car with her little boy, but at Donna Trenton, as if he had just been hanging around, waiting for her to show
The second person POV affects the reader because in this article, you are the wolf, and interestingly enough, the author isn’t even in the story at all! “Imagine you are a gray wolf in the Montana wilderness. You are one of the most fearsome predators on Earth.” The beginning of the article is important because it immerses the reader and the author develops the main character without the main character talking at all. The second person point of view also makes the reader feel more like a wolf and how a wolf would feel, without the wolf speaking directly to the reader. It also allows the author to inform the reader of things outside the wolf’s perspective.
n the excerpt Cujo, the author uses third person omniscient to create suspense so the reader can play god. One example of suspense is in paragraph 14,it states" And the dog seemed to know.

Based on the descriptions and events in this excerpt. I can infer that the title character, Cujo, has turned rabid and he is out to look for blood. I can also infer that his eyes are red and watery with thick substance leaking from it. Finally, I can infer that he has already killed his owner because he had mud and blood all over him. This was all stated in paragraphs 10 and 11, "The dog's eyes settled on hers. They were red and rheumy. They were leaking some viscous substance. The dog seemed to be weeping gummy tears. His tawny coat was caked and matted with mud and— Blood. is that..." All of this evidence told me that Cujo is rabid and has already killed his owner.

In the story of the pigs it’s in third person, but in the wolf’s view he just wants sugar and see’s them as a snack so it’s first person. The story of “The Three Little Pigs” and “The True story of the Three Little pigs” have different point of views that help the readers understanding of the wolf.

Aside from using literary devices both authors use characterization very well. Sandra Cisneros and Willo Davis Roberts use point of view to help portray characters and the mood. In Eleven Sandra Cisneros uses first person point of view. She uses it when Rachel says to herself "Not me, not me, not mine." This helps us understand that Rachel is only thinking of herself and her own perspective. This means that Rachel is mad about growing up and how everyone was treating her. She also uses first person to describe the close-mindedness of Rachel. Willo Davis Roberts uses third person limited point of view to show how isolated Katie and her three new friends are from the rest of the world. This is shown when the narrator says that "Katie thought about." Saying her real name instead of me or I. Both authors use different points of view to explain their stories best.
1.) In the twenty-fourth paragraph, after all Donna has been thorough, "she screamed." Donna finally lets loose with this expression of terror, even though she is now relative safe inside the car because she was holding pressure and once she got in her car she probably realized that she could have died. In paragraph 23 it states, "And suddenly it occurred to her that if she had not automatically rolled her window up as she brought the Pinto to a stop...she would now be minus her throat. Her blood would be on the wheel, the dash, the windshield. That one action, so automatic she could not even really remember performing it. She screamed." This tells me that she screamed because she was having a lot of pressure on her when was trying to escape from Cujo and she realized that, that one action saved her life and she could have been dead by now.

The first example of this narrative, “You better not never tell nobody but God. It’d kill you mammy” (1). This statement was obviously only spoken between the narrator and her abuser. “I am fourteen years old. I have always been a good girl” (1), is a second example of the novel’s point of view. This type of narrative brings the reader close to the quality and rhythm of life that Celie experiences. It allows the reader to intimately get to know Celie. Through Celie’s dialect and poor grammar, the reader becomes personally engaged in Celie’s experiences and struggles. Almost like reading the unedited thoughts that go through a person’s mind.
