Indirect discourse is the form of the third person, past tense narration. Free indirect discourse is indirect narration of what someone thought or said, yet the opinionated perspective of a particular character ( the way the character would talk) resounds in the wording of the third-person narration.
Indirect discourse is when something is thought, and then the thought is shared with someone else, that is not taken as a fact. (A quoted quotation) And free indirect discourse is a style of third person narration.(past tense)
good--let's have some examples of when you can "feel" the narration taking place through someone's perspective? can this happen through anyone, or is it usually particular people?
