- The narrator has a significant impact on the story because of their descriptions of the character's traits shape how we think about the character. For example, if story is told by a narrator who is a friend of a character, then we will get a impression that the character is a good character. On the other hand, if the story is told by a narrator who is an enemy of the character, then the impression we get is a negative impression of the character. So overall, the impression would be biased.
- The narrator in "Evacuation Order No. 19" is a quite neutral narrator in my opinion. This is because he or she does not give us (or more specifically, me) any good or bad impression of Mr. Hayashi nor of her actions. The narrator, I believe, is simply stating a series of actions and facts. Also, there is no hint of the story, narration, or plot being biased.
- I believe that having a neutral tone when writing the story "Evacuation Order No.19" is the best way to convey the "true" feeling of the story - the feeling that the author wants to convey. If the story is biased in any way, the feeling would be completely different.
