How is The Jilting of Granny Weatherall narrated?

"The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" is narrated in first person, but with a twist. It's narrated from the perspective of Granny Weatherall herself, but from her dying thoughts and memories. This creates a unique and powerful narrative:

* Limited perspective: We only experience the world through Granny's eyes and thoughts, which are often fragmented, confused, and influenced by her fading consciousness.

* Stream of consciousness: The story flows in a non-linear way, jumping between present-day events, memories, and even imagined conversations.

* Internal monologue: We hear Granny's thoughts, anxieties, regrets, and flashes of past experiences, giving us insight into her complex character and life.

This narration technique makes the reader experience Granny's final moments with her, feeling her confusion, pain, and even her acceptance of death. The story is a beautiful portrayal of the human experience, highlighting the fleeting nature of time, the power of memories, and the struggle with accepting mortality.
