Question

"From Scratch" By Susie Castellano "Amy's Metaphor" By Elisa Oh

Answer 1

In "From Scratch" by Susie Castellano, the point of view is first person. This can be seen in the following quote: "I thought about my father, who used to sit on our sand-colored couch with his legs crossed under a blanket, reading a book about the photography of rocks." The use of "I" indicates that the narrator is telling the story from their own perspective.

In "Amy's Metaphor" by Elisa Oh, the point of view is third person limited. This can be seen in the following quote: "Amy wondered if the tree ever felt lonely standing in the middle of the clearing." The use of "Amy" to describe the character instead of "I" or "you" indicates that the narrator is limited to Amy's thoughts and experiences.
