True

First-person point of view is when the narrator is a character within the story. A primary indicator that a written work is in first-person point of view is the use of first-person pronouns: I, me, my, myself. Wetherell's story "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" starts off "There was a summer in my life when the only creature that seemed lovelier to me than a largemouth bass was Sheila Mant. I was fourteen." Since this is narration and not dialogue, we know that the narrator is a character within the story. Gary Soto's "Oranges" begins "The first time I walked/With a girl, I was twelve". This narration uses the word "I" which shows that it is in first-person point of view.

Only the industrious prosper in life - change this sentence into negative
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

There are two ways which we can use to change the sentence from affirmative to negative:

1. Not only the industrious prosper in life.

2. Only the industrious do not prosper in life.

Explanation:

1. If we choose to make the negative this way, the meaning we will convey is that industrious people prosper, but they are not the only ones. Other people can prosper too.

2. On the other hand, if we negate this way, we will completely deny the original affirmation. We will be saying that everyone else prospers in life excerpt for industrious people.

Both ways are grammatically correct, even though they convey different meanings.
