Unnamed

In class on Monday, the professor commented on someone's paper after they presented and said that no the narrator is the first character and is unnamed. As I went back through the book to see if this was true, I realized it actually was! The narrator tells the story as if he is there or is watching everything happen. He also refers to himself as "I". Having a narrator is normal, but what is not as common is that the narrator is refered to as I. This really does bother me at times because it is not something I have seen/noticed before. Every time I will read a book from now on I will look for this and it will remind me of this big hard long book!!
