Narrator

The story  in "On the Come Up" is told through a limited narrator. It is the main character, Brianna, who tells the story. In that way we get a lot of insight into her thoughts and actions, and limited information about the other characters. The point of view is a first person narrator, and in that way we who read the story almost feel like we are Brianna when we read. I feel that the narrator is reliable because all the information given about Brianna seem true. An example is when Brianna tries to smuggle chocolate into school, and is later accused of smuggling drugs. We as readers believe Brianna when she says it was chocolate and not drugs.
