Question

The storm clouds gathered overhead as a little boat struggled against the churning sea. The captain, with his steady hands and calm eyes, steered the vessel toward the distant shore. Below deck, the crew was terrified, each one feeling the weight of the storm differently, but no dared speak their fear aloud.
What point of view is used in this passage
First person, second person, third person limited, third person omniscient

Answer 1

The passage uses third person limited point of view. The narrative focuses on the captain's perspective, describing his steady hands and calm eyes, while the thoughts and feelings of the crew are mentioned in a more general way without delving into their individual experiences. The use of "the captain" and "the crew" indicates a third person narrative style, and the limited insights into the characters’ emotions reinforce this point of view.
