‘The Journey’ is a beautiful narrative by Yeshe Dorjee Thongchi. Most of the events were narrated in the order in which they had happened. Here and there we find that the narration changed its directions. 

The sentences where the course of narration changed its directions: 

a) “I did not have much to carry byway of luggage – just a trunk. Ours is a hilly terrain Here the author tried to give the reason. Then he explained the purpose of his coming to his place. Thus, the course of narration was changed. 

b) “Nobody had time to spare for me. In fact, carrying the trunk should not have been such a worry” The course of narration was changed after the first sentence when the author tried to tell us about his inner feelings. 

c) “We were walking up a narrow hilly road and neither of us uttered a word as if we were strangers who spoke different languages. I did not know what was going on in his mind.” When we observe the two sentences given above, the first one changed its direction when the author tried to present his thoughts. 

d) “Father wanted to say something but the bus started moving.” Later the narrative was changed its course when the author tried to think about his way in comparison with his father’s. A reader could understand very well about the author’s inner thoughts by this way of narration. He too would try to think in his own way imagining that if he were in the author’s place. Thus it was effective in provoking the thoughts.
