PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY


The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you are ashamed of, because words diminish them—words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear. Source: King, Stephen. "The Body." Different Seasons.

What is the point of view of the passage?



third-person objective
first-person
third-person limited
third-person omniscient

Respuesta :

The correct answer would be option C: "Third-person limited". The author writes as a narrator who comments as a monologue the feelings , thoughts and ideas of the main character, not changing to narrate another character, therefore it is "limited" to one character only. That is the reason it is not omniscient (it does not know all) and it discusses feelings, which does not happen in third-person objective (as in neutral). The author also does not write using I or He/She or We therefore option B is incorrect as well as options A and D.
