 | | So, in Caleb we look at the naturalists notebook and its system of conceptual representation and would expect to be objective, but some of the creatures including Owl turn their eyes on us, subjecting us to a demand. |
 | | Caleb has a first person narrator, Stuart, who is the focaliser and shares with us his words, thoughts, recollections so readers will tend to align themselves with his point of view. |
