Mark slouka’s story ‘crossing’ is about a father and his son going on a short adventure together, like he did when he was a kid with his father. Would you go on a adventure with your father if it meant you had to cross a river? The trip starts out very smooth, they’ll go into the forest, cross the river and spend the night in the barn with their tent. But when it’s time to leave the father notice how bad the river has gotten, A whole new situation has come up. The trip was not only about connecting with nature but more about reconnecting with his son after the son’s father and mother spilt. Some sort of guilt built up in the father and a need to be close with his son, probably also passing down a tradition. In this essay, we will analyze, look at the significance of the setting and the narrative tech.
The story ‘crossing’ is told through a third-person limited narrator. That means that we only see the world around us through one pair of eyes and in this case it’s through the father’s eyes and mind. We are close to his thoughts, memories and feelings, by this we never know what the kid is thinking. This leads us to, that the father is the center of the story. it also kind of shows his struggles being a parent.
