Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
Hopeless and forlorn, the shepherd regarded his prize sheep covered with mud. Meantime the sheep
was thinking of nothing but supper. - correct answer This is third person omniscient.
The sheep is thinking of only supper, so we know the sheep's thoughts. "The shepherd regarded his
prize sheep..." Regarded is an external activity meaning looked at, so it doesn't provide insight towards
the shepherd's thoughts. However, the words "hopeless and forlorn" give access to the shepherd's
thoughts. Since we have the thoughts of 2 characters and third person words such as "his," this is a third
person omniscient narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
Harry knew that Gloria was stingy, but this topless convertible was worse than he had expected. He
kissed her. She spat into the wind.
I guess she's annoyed, thought Harry. - correct answer This is third person limited
omniscient. The phrases "Harry knew" and "thought Harry" give us insight into Harry's mind and
thoughts. However, we never know Gloria's thoughts, just her actions and what Harry thinks of her.
Since we only have Harry's thoughts and third person pronouns such as "he" and "her," this is a third
person limited omniscient narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
The grass turned blue in front of Angelique as she stumbled in the hot wind. Black cattle swung their
long heads to stare, then bent to graze again. In the distance, a speck of dust grew larger. - correct
answer This is third person objective. Nothing in the passage gives insight into any
characters thoughts. We only know that Angelique stumbled back, the cattle stared at her, and a speck
of dust grew larger. In this case, their actions give no insight into their thoughts and minds. Since we
know no one's mind and have third person words such as Angelique, "she", and cattle, this is a third
person objective narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
, As I watched, the Mexican reached under the porch and retrieved his salad. I wondered what Maravich
would do under such provocation. Before I could imagine the next moment, I heard a shot from
somewhere deep in the house and watched Maravich's body twist in the air. - correct answer
This is first person observer. The phrase "As I watched" reveals that the narrator is only looking into the
actions of the story, not participating in them. Just because the narrator "wondered what Maravich
would do," doesn't mean the narrator is actively participating in the story's events. The narrator also
"heard a shot" and "watched Maravich's body" meaning the narrator is just looking on as all the events
happen to other people. Maravich's body was the one that got twisted not the narrator's body. The first
person singular pronoun "I" and a narrator who is looking on as the events of the story occur to other
people makes this a first person observer narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
I broke the walls myself, and it took a long time. Let me tell you the story from the beginning. - correct
answer This is first person participant. The person who is "I" is in the middle of the
action, performing it. The narrator is the one who is breaking the walls. The first person pronoun "I" and
a narrator who is participating in the action makes this a first person participant narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
While Henry sat at the table, Marge pretended to read comic books. He was praising Verdi's Otello, as it
happened, when Marge flicked her gum in his hair. Smiling at her youthful exuberance, Henry. . . . -
correct answer This is third person omniscient. We know that Marge is pretending
to read the comic books which gives us her thoughts. Externally, she most likely looks as if she is reading
the comic books. Readers can tell praising without insight to a character's thoughts so that does not
contribute to Henry's thoughts. However, Henry is smiling at Marge's "youthful exuberance" which gives
us insight into his thoughts as to why he is smiling, not just telling us that he is smiling. Since we have
the thoughts of 2 characters and third person pronouns such as "he", "his", "her", and their names, this
is a third person omniscient narrator.
Identify the point of view of the following passage and explain your choice.
Harry knew that Gloria was stingy, but this topless convertible was worse than he had expected. He
kissed her. She spat into the wind.
She was annoyed. - correct answer This is third person omniscient. The words
"Harry knew" give his thoughts. The sentence "She was annoyed" gives Gloria's thoughts. Since we have
