Little Miss Sunshine: who's the protagonist?

Story Nerd

About this episode

As Melanie and I prepared for this episode one question kept coming up ... Who is the protagonist? Melanie argues that the entire family is the protagonist, but I think that Olive (who is the Little Miss Sunshine contestant) is the protagonist. It's an interesting question and our discussion about it is even more interesting. If you're writing a multi-POV story, be sure to check out this episode! -V.

"Exposition is all about the facts that we need to convey to the reader so that they can follow a story without getting confused." Valerie Francis
