The main conflict of the story is Heidi trying to figure out if she wants to go back home to live in the mountains with her grandfather or stay in Frankfurt with Clara. It is an internal conflict because Heidi is dealing with her feelings of friendship toward Clara and the feeling of love toward her grandfather. She has become such a good friend to Clara, who is in a wheelchair, but yet she misses the mountains and her grandfather so much. The climax of the story is when Heidi got to come back to the mountains to visit her grandfather for, what was planned, one-month. But then Clara and the rest of her family came down to visit also. At the end of their visit Clara's dad was making Heidi come back to Frankfurt with them, but Clara stood up for Heidi. Because of Clara standing up for Heidi, Heidi stayed with her grandfather, who loves her very much, and got to be by the mountains all the time.
The narration is done in third person point of view. I can tell because in the story it does not say I, we or those kinds of things; it says the name of the person, like Heidi, grandfather, or Clara. I think that the author is omniscient because throughout the book the author described the mountains very vividly. The author described the color, texture and the shape of the mountains very well. I could almost picture them inside my head. And also when Clara came to Dorfli the mountains, the meadows, and the lakes were also described very vividly. There are places in the book where the author described something so well that I had to stop reading my book to actually stop and picture it in my head. And thought wow I wish that I could write like that.
The story takes place in Dorfli and in Frankfurt. The setting in Dorfli was in Heidi's grandfather's house and the setting in Frankfurt was with Clara and the rest of her family's house. The time setting would have been around early 1900's. I think so because of the way they described the clothing, and that there were no cars just horses, buggies, and trains.
