    Blixen Narrative Analysis

Blixen’s writing is quite obviously descriptive, initially I had thought that her writing was too descriptive. However, after one of our previous classes I was able to see what Blixen was doing. To make the narrative more accessible for the reader Blixen used multiple descriptions,…
