I think that the narrator agrees with Anita. I think this because at the very end the narrator said that their family never talked about what happened to her, and how they hear about how she is living on the bank of the river. I think that in this way the narrator is trying to learn more about Anita.
To me, it's kind of hard to tell, because the narrator's tone is indifferent through out the whole story. She tells the whole story without really giving any of opinions of her own. But if I had to pick, I think the narrator agrees with the parents,and they think Anita is kind of going crazy. At around the middle of the book, the narrator's parents send them to his/her aunt's house because " They didn't want him/her to be the next one to go crazy", and she agreed with them. That's just what I think, and I don't really know for sure.
I couldn't tell at all. The narrarator was so detached, and hollow sounding. It was kind of sad actually. But, the sibling/narrarator person had to agree that his/her sister was mentally unstable, who wouldn't? It still bothers me though that we never know how it affects him/her.
I think that the narrator is pretty much unbiased. His tone kind of suggests that he thinks that Anita is sort crazy, but he doesn't really agree with his parents. It's harder to tell because (s)he doesn't truly interact with his or her parents or Anita. It would be easier if you could see how (s)he acts around Anita or the parents.
I think that the narrator was sorry for Anita and on her side. At the end of the story the sister/brother said that the family doesn't talk about Anita anymore. When I read that I got the sense of pity from him/her.
I think the narrator was sounding kind of like a witness. The narrator sounds indifferent, like everything was just happening. When Anita was showing some signs of mental instability, the narrator was feeling a little worried, but they didn't really do anything about it and just sort of let it all happen.
To me, the narrarator sounds indifferent, undecided. She doesn't really sound against her parents decisions, but she doesn't seem for them. I think, if someone made her chose though, she'd be on Anita's side.
I think the narrator is kind of going both ways. He/she doesn't seem to care that the parents kicked her out, but at the same time he still likes Anita. He/she talks about Anita positively when he talks about her eyes, but he/she doesn't seem to upset when she leaves. He almost sounds oblivious.
