A.

Third-person omniscient narration that reveals Crazy Horse’s inner thoughts and also shows how his community perceives him best builds psychological depth and moral complexity. That technique lets readers see conflicting loyalties, doubts, and motivations while situating those feelings in social and cultural context — which fosters empathy far more effectively than a neutral, factual, or purely chronological account.
