Question

Mr. Elmo Norman my elementary school principle was the most nervous man I have ever met. He was a short pudgy man, always over dressed. In fact, he didn't just wear his clothes he hid inside them. His uniform consisted of a neatly pressed pin striped suit, a thin black tie over a starched white shirt, an a pair of brightly polished brown oxfords. His receding gray hair was neatly trimmed and his fat wrinkled head always darted about like a radar blip on his neck. He paced the school hallways in perpetual motion of twitching, fidgeting and twiddling. In the space he took a minute, he would wrinkle his little nose, scratch his plump chin, shrug his shoulders, straighten his tie and glace at his watch, never once looking directly at the person he was with. As he spoke in his lackadaisical drawl, he would glance at the ceiling, inspect his knuckles and check the floorboards for dust. When the conversation was over, he would dash back into his office like a frighten bunny, probably praying that he could lock himself in there forever. And for all I know he may still be hiding in his office today. b. underline or highlight the words, phrases or sentences that give clues to mr. elmo character traits in the paragraph c what is the point of view that the story being told from? d. how do you know that it is this type of point of view? 4.
