All the Sad Young Men

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

He and I first met in the late summer of 1917 when he was just out of Yale, and, like the rest of us, was swept up into the systematized hysteria of the war. In the blue-green uniform of the naval aviation he came down to Pensacola, where the hotel orchestras played "I'm sorry, dear," and we young officers danced with the girls.

The statement that best describes the point of view the author establishes in the paragraph from "All the Sad Young Men" is:

The narrator tells the story through the perspective of someone outside of the story.

This is because the narrator reflects on past events and details experiences with another character, indicating an external perspective rather than an internal one.
