Abstract

This paper explores the narrative techniques employed in "Ba-diw," highlighting how they shape the reader's experience and deepen thematic engagement. The analysis begins with the use of perspective, contrasting first-person and third-person narration to emphasize intimacy and broaden understanding of character motivations. It examines the non-linear structure, which employs flashbacks and thematic chapter organization to create suspense and maintain reader engagement.

Character development is further explored through dialogue and internal monologues, revealing complexities and fostering empathy. The rich setting and world-building techniques serve to immerse readers in a culturally resonant environment that enhances the narrative's themes. Recurring motifs and symbols are analyzed for their contribution to the overarching themes of identity, community, and resilience.

Keyphrases: First-Person Narration, Flashbacks, Non-Linear Structure, narrative techniques, point of view, third-person perspective
