Narrator's Persona

The narrator has a better understanding of the events that are hiding in the Evacuation Order No 19. When the narrator, Mrs. Hayashi, said she was packing up and ready to leave, we could see that something bad is going to happen in the near future. If the narrator is from Mrs. Hayashi’s boy or girl, then it would probably not know what had happened to the bird and the white dog the day before they were about to leave. If the narrator is another person, then we might think that the white dog just escaped. From the narrator’s point of view, we could see what happened to Junior. If the story was told from the children’s perspective, they probably wouldn’t be able to know why they are leaving because they didn’t see the sign that Mrs. Hayashi saw. We can also see the characteristics of Mrs. Hayashi from the way she tells the story. It was apparent that she didn’t want to kill the white dog, but she had no choice at all. After the white dog was killed, we could start to see why she was buying the bigger hammer and what she saw on the sign when she on her way home.
