Question

Read this excerpt from a passage.

I’m a normal high school kid—that is, I like listening to music. Until about a year ago, I always liked listening to it loud. Loud enough that it filled up my head and pulsed through my body, so the boundary between me and the music disappeared. I’ve listened to countless hours of music—vibrant music pouring into my ears from headphones, washing over me from car speakers, or blasting at me from gigantic speakers at concerts.

What is the author’s point of view in the excerpt?


first person


second person


third-person limited


third-person omniscient

Answer 1

first person

The narrator uses "I" and describes personal experiences and thoughts (e.g., "I’m a normal high school kid," "I like listening," "I’ve listened"), which indicates first-person point of view.
