a) In my essay the perspectives I engage in my essay are: Leymah’s, the peoples of Liberia, BB’s, a little of the child soldiers’ and my own.
b) Well I could include the perspective of a psychologist or sociologist to get a deeper understanding of what happens in this relationship between the “perpetrators” and the “victims”, or what happens within a society after a war and why it chooses to ignore certain problems.
c) To distinguish other peoples views from my own, I either introduced a quote, or signaled that it was the other persons idea or words, or paraphrased. When expressing my own view, I would signal it by putting ‘I’ or ‘my’ in the sentence to make it clear it was my idea.
d) Yes I do use clear voice-signaling phrases.
e) I’m not sure what I can do to clarify who is saying what.
f) See above.
