Lesson 1 (from Part I (Foreward - Page 52))
Objective
The objective of this lesson is for students to analyze how Ross's choice to tell the story in Picture from her first-person point of view affects the reader's perceptions of the characters and the action. While Ross does not reveal many details about herself - her past, her personality, or her personal feelings about what she sees during her reporting - she seems to strive for objectivity in her reporting, offering specific and relevant details about her subjects.
Lesson
Class Discussion: Who is Lillian Ross? How would you describe her style of writing? How thorough do you think Ross's reporting on her topic and the people she profiles in Picture is? What do you think would be the biggest differences in your experience of reading this book if Ross had written it in the third person instead of the first person?
