The sentence in the excerpt from
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens that reflect the authors’ satirical tone is, ‘Are
you aweer, Mrs. Mann, that you are, as I may say, a porochial delegate, and a
stipendiary?’. Mr. bumble is a church warden however he also receives a
specific amount of cash which was, at that time, is unlikely for a church
warden.
How long is the story supposed to be?
I've looked this question up online. The options are simply:
a. First Person
b. Second Person
c. Third Person
Answer:
The point of view in this paragraph is:
a. First person.
Explanation:
The narrator of the excerpt is telling the story from a first-person point of view. The easiest way to confirm that is by taking a look at the pronouns used:
The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my
breathing with the rhythm.
<u>First-person narrators use first-person pronouns such as "I" and "me". This type of narrator gives us his/her own perspective on things. That means we accompany this narrator throughout the story, see things from his perspective, and only get to know what he knows. One advantage of first-person point of view is that we get to dive deeper into the narrator's feelings and thoughts. One disadvantage is that he is a biased narrator, which makes him untrustworthy.</u>
