To accurately determine the point of view for each story mentioned, you would need to check the specific narrative style used in "Watch Out for the Hedley Beast" and "The Poor Tinker." However, based on typical literary analysis, here's a guideline on how to identify the point of view used in each story:

  • First-person point of view: The narrator is a character in the story, using "I" or "we."
  • Third-person point of view: The narrator is outside the story and uses "he," "she," "they," or "it."

If you find that "Watch Out for the Hedley Beast" is told from a first-person perspective (like through the eyes of a character involved in the events), and "The Poor Tinker" is told from a third-person perspective (where an outside narrator describes the events), then the correct response would be:

Watch Out for the Hedley Beast is told in first person and The Poor Tinker is told in third person.

If both stories use third-person narration, then the correct answer would be:

They both use third-person point of view.

Conversely, if both are in first-person point of view, you'd choose that option.

Make sure to verify the point of view directly from the texts to make the right selection.
