Narrative Intervention

Part 1

My grandpa and the servant only watched from a distance. The scene was too emotional for their interruption. Grandpa made calculated almost seemingly lamenting steps towards the table at the farthest corner of the guest room. He leaned on the table lost in thoughts, though the anger in her face was masked by evident despair. The servant moved closer to grandmother but could not touch her to comfort. She also left my grandmother alone holding the Little Brother. “Mmmhh uuuhh mmmhhh uh uh,” was all what she murmured, lost for words and expression, but full of emotions.

My grandmother cuddled her baby. Not a word came from her mouth. The same hand that moment earlier was hard on the meat cleaver was not smoothly rolling over Little Brothers matted hair. Her hair has not always been like that.

NARARATIVE INTERVENTION

Life writers are not always ‘truthful’ in their accounts and recounts. The gaps and silences in (auto) biographical tests hint that the author may sometimes be an unreliable narrator. Constructing his or her version of people, places, events and representations of the self. Gaps and silences may also occur in tests so that the reader can make their own assumptions about people and events or the inclusion or exclusion of information may simply be stylistic to create a more cohesive narrative.
