Make It New!: Early Modernism — Test

Question 6 • English III

Read the excerpt from "Rhapsody on a Windy Night." I could see nothing behind that child's eye. I have seen eyes in the street Trying to peer through lighted shutters, And a crab one afternoon in a pool, An old crab with barnacles on his back, Gripped the end of a stick which I held him. The excerpt is an example of what type of narration?

Answer
A
stream of consciousness
B
dramatic dialogue
C
second person, limited
D
third-person, all knowing

Explanation

The speaker’s thoughts move from one image to another—the child’s eye, eyes in the street, and then a crab—without a clear logical transition. This flow of perceptions and associations is characteristic of stream-of-consciousness narration. It is not dramatic dialogue because no exchange between speakers occurs.
