for the gods' courtesy; Zeus will avenge
the unoffending guest.'
He answered this
from his brute chest, unmoved
'You are a ninny,

Answer:
In literature, point of view is a point from which the story is told, or who is narrating the story.
There are three basic points of view:
- first - when the character is the one who tells the story. Its most prominent feature is the use of "I" and "we".
second - most prominent feature is the use if "you"
- third - the narrator uses "he" "she" it" "they" to tell a story.
Excessive use of the pronoun "you" ( you walk... you mention... you put... you wait... you waddle up...) suggests that this is <em>second-person point of view.</em>
