Which statement most clearly shows how the author uses point of view to develop the character in this story?

Question

.Slowly, gray light filtered through my eyelids, and I came out of my dream. Underneath me was what felt like a blanket on a hard floor. My eyes adjusted to the light. I seemed to be in an office of some kind. I looked around. There was a desk and a chair that I didn't recognize. I was alone in the room. Where was I, exactly?Which statement most clearly shows how the author uses point of view to develop the character in this story?*

The author uses first-person point of view to show the main character's goal.

The author uses first-person point of view to help the reader understand the main character's confusion when she wakes up.

The author uses third-person limited point of view to show the conflict between where the main character is and where she wants to be.

The author uses third-person omniscient point of view to help the reader understand where the main character is.

Answer 1

This first person point of view helps the reader understand how confusing the narrator found the situation he/she was in.

There is no mention of goals so that answer is wrong.

Omniscient point of view is when the author is all-knowing. Usually the author uses the third person (he, she, or they). Using I and me is termed first person. (Second person is you, and rarely used in narratives.)

Answer 2

Please see the attached video. It's a little bit long, because I was trying to answer the question as clearly and thoroughly as possible.

If this were an actual tutorial session, I would not be doing nearly as much talking; rather, I would be asking you questions that would allow you to think your way through the analysis on your own.

All the best,
