The excerpt from "Homecoming" shows a third-person point of view. The narrative uses third-person pronouns like "she" and "they," and it provides insight into the character's feelings and perceptions without using first-person language that would indicate a first-person point of view.

Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.
