Pamela And Shamela A02

in these extracts the authors use the writer uses the first person viewpoint to convey the formality of the text.In the first one there is a almost narration feel to the first letter as Pamela narrators her events to the receiver of the letter ( her mother) this gives a different feel to the way in which its presented to the reader as it has to reflect her consideration for her mother.
in shamela there is a more different first person view point as she is relating the story to her mum as a story teller with her as first person rather then flitting in between first and third person speech.
the ways in which i as a reader responded to Pamela was quite shocking as it was such a sad relatable tale that made me baas a reader cringe. In contrast there is a much more different reaction to the shamela extract as there is a really disturbing jokiness to it.
