Remember: This discussion question is worth a possible 20 points. Late answers will receive 0 points. Points will be assigned according to the thoughtfulness of your answer, not by whether it is "right" or not, since sometimes there is no "right" answer. Just be sure your ideas are supported by the material in the reading.
1. Each section of the novel is told from a different point of view, and many of the sections can stand alone, as short stories. How, then, are all the sections unified into a novel?
2. What is the purpose for telling the story out of chronological order? In your opinion, is this technique effective?
