Question

What is the point of view in this passage?

Answer 1

The answer is: third person omniscient.

This kind of narrator is one that tells the story about, or from the point of view, of a third person, that is to say, a character that could very well be called only “he” or “she”. What makes this kind of narrator omniscient, that is to say, all-knowing, is the fact that the narrator seems to be able to tell the reader even the inner thoughts and perceptions of the character in question.

Answer 2

The correct answer is third person omniscient

That is because the narrator knows even what the boy was thinking. A regular third person would not be able to enter the mind of his characters.
