Multiple Perspectives

Throughout the novel, Raphael, Gardo, and Rat take turns recounting their story. Hearing the multiple perspectives of this story benefits the reader because then you will know what every character is thinking about and what they’re planning to do. It also benefits the reader because then you will know more about what’s happening. When the reader reads the book the different stories told by the characters help the reader understand every characters feelings instead of one main character, also not every character knows the full story like father Julliard and sister Olivia so their stories combined with Raphael’s, Gardo’s and Rats fits together and makes sense, If we didn’t have multiple characters telling the story and just had one main character telling the story we wouldn’t have known what happened in the prison with Sister Olivia, Gardo and Gabriel.
