At what point in PuPPY do you begin to realize that Saunders's third-person narrator might be speaking like or using the voice of his two main characters-first Marie, then Callie, and so on?
How is your initial response and attitude to the characters different than it would be if one or both of these characters actually narrated the story (in the first-person) or if the third-person narrator's voice were consistent throughout the story? What are the most distinctive features of each voice, and what do they tell us about the characters?
