[narrator bias poll!]
Jun. 16th, 2006 08:40 pmI just couldn't help it, thinking about these questions while reading 'King Dork', which is very us-vs-Them and counterculture-vs-'Normals', to the point where even though I empathized with the pov character, I felt slightly bad for everyone else (who wasn't so clearly characterized anyway, including the best friend-- unreliable narrator heaven).
I was wondering about the relationship between empathizing with the pov character vs the underdog or whether they can feed into each other (since here we had your classic underdog-pov situation, and I was, in fact, suckered.) Also, whether this all generally relates to whom is better written than whom :>

EDIT - If you picked 'other (?)', tell me whyyyyyyyy! Heh. I'm like 'omg, I know my answer options weren't full enough, I totally suck, WAH' :))
