Jim reacted the way he does to Della's short haircut, because the gift he bought for her (hair combs i believe) required long hair, and because it was one of their most 'treasured', and also the old watch (which Jim had sold to buy the hair comb)

hope this helps

Which best analyzes how the third-person limited point of view shapes "The Glass of Milk"?
Andrei [34K]

When we look back in the past of Chilean literature, Manuel Rojas, started his writing career in between the naturalist movement. To understand more, we can relate realism and naturalism. First, naturalists' writing involved an extreme portrayal of realism which focused more on barbaric attributes of the human race. And then, the characters included in such stories belonged to the bottom of the society, with an unsavory description.


We notice a non-participant narrator in this tale of kindness. He's a third-person narrator who is limited to the visuals and physical activities of the characters but has no access to their thoughts. However, he describes the mentality of the young boy. This effect is created to focus more on the conditions and their impact, on the miserable life.

Through this, it is easy to infer that the third choice would get you the best marks.

=> The use of third-person limited point of view allows the reader to better understand the main character.
