The passage is written in the third person limited point of view. The narrator describes Jonas's thoughts and feelings but does not provide insight into the thoughts or feelings of other characters. This perspective allows readers to connect with Jonas's internal experience while maintaining some narrative distance.
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.
