Hypothesize: Q9 This story is told from the point of view of a narrtor who is a character in the story. How might this story differ if Don Anselmo were the narrator?

I think the story would be totally different. If Don Anselmo was the narrator, he would tell us more about his feelings when he had to sell his land to the "good people". He would probably say he missed his land but he had to sell it for his needs. He would also explain why each person in the village each owned a tree on his land. "If it was a tradition or not?", "What's the importance owning a tree?", "If Americans are known such as "good people" then why don't they let the kids play in their land?" There were many questions that Don Anselmo personally needed to answer because the narrator didn't know all that information based on his own experiences. After all, I would enjoy to read this story of Don Anselmo as the narrator because I want to know the answers to these questions above and the difference between different narrators.
