The Voice of Double-Narrative
Based on the analysis of narrative as rhetoric on My Old Dad by James Phelan,the paper makes a further analysis from the following angles:the narrative voice from the theory of narrative as rhetoric by Phelan,the expository reading way of "scriptable" by Roland Barthes and the narrative theory of reliable and unreliable narration by Booth. In the end,the paper tries to explain the death of Bately from the angle of religion. Through the analysis above,the paper holds that the story contains the clues of double-narrative,or in other word,the author tells us two moral stories.
