Which term refers to the voice telling the story, influencing perspective?

• A. Fortunato
• B. Narrator
• C. Green Pastures
• D. Spotted Skin

Answer: (B)

The voice telling the story is called the narrator. This is the lens through which events are presented, shaping perspective, tone, and what details are included or left out. The narrator can be inside the story (first-person) or outside (third-person), and can be reliable or unreliable, which affects how readers perceive what happens. Because this term specifically names that voice and its influence on perspective, it fits best. Fortunato is a character, not the storytelling voice; Green Pastures and Spotted Skin are unrelated to describing how a story is told.
