What is the author's style in The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare?

The story is told almost exclusively in the third person from Daniel's point of view. Therefore, the reader is able to mature along with him, and often share deeply his hatred of the Roman soldiers and the occupation of Israel. It is through Daniel's conversation with Simon that we are able to understand that his sister, Leah, is possessed by demons.

The narrative follows Daniel's perspective, and when other characters' viewpoints are expressed, they are almost exclusively through Daniel's thinking process. His time on the mountain with the leader of the bandits is justified through the care they have given to him, and to the fact that he sympathized with their goals, when he was rescued as a young boy. The reader understands what Simon means at the beginning of the tale, when he explains to Daniel that Simon has a somewhat different viewpoint than Rosh, even though there is of yet no understanding of what Simon refers to.

The twins have a different loyalty than Daniel in that their parents are alive and they have strong ties to them. Daniel sees how important it is to and Joel and Thacia to try to live by the teachings of their father, while at the same time understanding and embracing the ideals of Daniel. Without it being stated, a type of sympathy is created with Nathan, as his background parallels Daniel's quite closely. No record of his love of a girl and their marriage is introduced to the reader, however Daniel sees it as a wonderful thing which appears to be right for them, so it is accepted that Daniel's viewpoint is ture.
