Question

Which excerpt from “How I Learned English” uses first-person point of view to peek into the speaker’s mind?

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Ron O’Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
Someone said “shin” again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,

Answer 1

The excerpt from “How I Learned English” that uses first-person point of view to peek into the speaker’s mind is:

"I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed"
