Can any one define "objective narrative"? I need the defintion badly in order to do an assingment. It's due today!

ANy one? I missed a class, and JUST realize one of the question requires me to write bunch of stuff on a book and explain the method of narration used. Objective narrative is one of this, but I don't know the definition, I only have half of the note written down.

I'm probably wrong... but since no one answered this post yet i'm gonna guess... i don't remember much from eng AP...

Objective = as oppose to subjective... so this view is "unbias"
Narrative = as in narrator

put them together

A text (usually a story) told by a narrator who is unbias toward the situation... as if the person is sort of like a camera, showing everything, but not judging. An example of this could be a young child, looking at everything with a sense of innocence and so have no bias judgement on the other characters/events.

sorry, i could be wrong... lol
have you tried looking online?

 

[j@cko]

Yes, I tried look on online, but no luck at all. I tried Ask.com, it gave me bunch of stupid results. Much of them are related to finaical/market research.

I'm not sure of the definition myself, but it could be the same as third person omniscient. Meaning that it is a narrator who knows everything (isn't a character in the story).

And I have found nothing on this, 10 years later. -_-

And you had to bump a ten year old thread to prove your ignorance conclusively?

Go home and practice... Puh-leeeze.

Can't use Wikipedia for school research, though. I just took a quick look, then discarded the idea I had.

Wow, that's stupid just having rules outright rejecting one of the internet's best sources for information and one that, for that matter, has been shown to be almost as accurate as encyclopedia britannica. What you can do though is use the sources in wiki articles.

No...since wikipedia is "user edited," it's often not considered to be a valid source.
When I was in college, most of my professors warned us in advance that any essay that listed wikipedia as a source got an automatic "F."

It CAN be a good research tool though...and used to find other information.

You could just look up the definition of each word. It's only two words. Hell! Even a dumbass like Rick Perry could probably manage that many... but don't expect three from him. :hmm:

Bushwhacko is among the dumber Presidents in our history, but I'm guessing you didn't see Rick Perry self-destruct, last night.

Watch it, and you'll understand my sig. :biggrin:

I didn't watch the debates, but I did see a clip of him fumbling for "agencies he would shut down" or something like that...

It sounds like you and I are in agreement.
