The narrator in the passage uses a third-person limited point of view. This perspective allows the reader to see the thoughts and feelings of the character Jonas while maintaining an overarching narrative voice. The focus remains on Jonas's internal experiences, specifically his thoughts about the upcoming Ceremony and his uncertainties regarding the Assignment, but does not reveal the inner thoughts of other characters.
Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
Jonas went to his own desk and began to assignment. But his mind was still on December and the coming Ceremony. Though he had been reassured by the talk with his parents he hadn't the slightest idea what Assignment the Elders would be selecting for his future, or how he might feel about it when the day came .
