What is the point of view in each story (first person, second person, third person limited, third person omniscient). PROVIDE ONE EXAMPLE FROM EACH TEXT TO PROVE HOW YOU KNOW THIS.

"From Scratch" By Susie Castellano "Amy's Metaphor" By Elisa Oh

1 answer

In "From Scratch" by Susie Castellano, the point of view is first person. This can be seen in the following quote: "I thought about my father, who used to sit on our sand-colored couch with his legs crossed under a blanket, reading a book about the photography of rocks." The use of "I" indicates that the narrator is telling the story from their own perspective.

In "Amy's Metaphor" by Elisa Oh, the point of view is third person limited. This can be seen in the following quote: "Amy wondered if the tree ever felt lonely standing in the middle of the clearing." The use of "Amy" to describe the character instead of "I" or "you" indicates that the narrator is limited to Amy's thoughts and experiences.
