Question

Amelia is planning a narrative about a group of art thieves who plan to steal a famous painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To create suspense, she wants a narrator who is not a character in the story to reveal the thoughts and feelings of only the getaway driver. Which point of view is best suited for Amelia's story?

First person
Second person
Third person limited
Third person omniscient

Answer 1

The best point of view for Amelia's story, given that she wants the narrator to reveal the thoughts and feelings of only the getaway driver, is **third person limited**. This point of view allows the narrator to focus specifically on the getaway driver's experiences, thoughts, and feelings while maintaining a narrative distance from the other characters. This can help create suspense by delving deeply into the driver's perspective without providing insight into the thoughts and emotions of the other art thieves.
