Question

Read the paragraph.
Marco is writing a narrative about his grandmother’s difficult decision to immigrate to the United States. He wants the reader to have access to his grandmother’s innermost thoughts and feelings as she struggles with the choice she must make.

Which point of view would best tell the story?

first-person
second-person
third-person limited
third-person omniscient

Answer 1

The best point of view to tell Marco's grandmother's story and provide access to her innermost thoughts and feelings would be **third-person limited**. This perspective allows the narrator to focus on the grandmother's experiences, thoughts, and emotions while maintaining an external viewpoint. It provides a balance of insight into her struggles without shifting to other characters' perspectives, which would dilute her personal narrative.
