Effects of limited narrator on “Behold the Brooklyn Bridge”
Explanation:
The short story "Behold the Brooklyn Bridge" is a piece of historical fiction because it focuses on the historical event of the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge took its (human) toll – there are no exact numbers, but at least 20 people died building the architectural masterpiece. It started with the designer, John A. Roebling, who crushed his foot and had to amputate his toes, which lead to him dying of tetanus shortly after.
It stands for many things - for movement, for thrust, for the triumph of man over nature and, ultimately, for a city that prized these qualities over all other things. It is important to remember that the Brooklyn Bridge was completed at the beginning of New York's great and heroic age
When it was finished in 1883, it was the first steel-wire suspension bridge and the longest suspension bridge in the world. For several years, its two towers made it the tallest structure in the Western hemisphere and it was dubbed the “eighth wonder of the world.”
