TIME REFERENCES

 

In this section, you can find examples of time in each chapter. From the lists you can infer that the references of time are very similar between chapters. I have extracted all the time references I have found in this hypertext by chapters. Moreover, I would like to say that the story is narrated in the past tense and in third person.
