Question

The story "Charles" is told from which point of view. Here is an excerpt from the text to guide your answer. The day my son Laurie started kindergarten he renounced corduroy overalls with bibs and began wearing blue jeans with a belt; I watched him go off the first morning with the older girl next door, seeing clearly that an era of my life was ended, my sweet-voiced nursery-school tot replaced by a long-trousered, swaggering character who forgot to stop at the corner and wave goodbye to me.

Third person omniscient
Second person

Answer 1

Answer:

First person

Explanation:

The story "Charles" is told from the first-person view. In the excerpt, the reader can notice the pronouns "my", "I" and "me". It refers that a person is speaking using the first-person view. The reader can understand that a person from the story is telling about a specific moment in the past. This moment is very emotional for the speaker. He evokes the moment when his son started kindergarten. The writer chooses this point of view to get close the story to the reader. Laurie's first day of kindergarten is shown to throw his dad's memory. The first-person view is not objective but shows the intimate subjective point of view.
