Clungston (2010) explains in the Journey into Literature, “A limited omniscient point of view is when the thoughts and feelings of only one of the characters are related through the narrator.” In this story, it is just that, as the narrator, who in this story describes a woman who is not given a name or any type of background, guides the reader onto a journey in which she explains the little things the woman is experiencing and remembering as she walked along on that fine blue day. The narrator continues to engage the reader on how the different things along her walk are not the same as what the woman remembers them to be.
