Question

. Read the excerpt. I look around the campfire at the friends I’ve made this summer, and I wonder how I’ll ever be able to say goodbye to these people, this place. What is the point of view of this descriptive essay, titled “Final Night,” by Laura Emily Goldblatt?
third-person limited

third-person omniscient

first person

Answer 1

The point of view is first person because of the key word "I."

Answer 2

Answer: C) First person.

Explanation: to determinate what is the point of view (or type of narrator) in a story or a text, we need to pay attention to the pronouns used by the speaker. If the speaker uses the pronouns "he," "she," "it" or "they" it is a third person narrator, which can be omniscient if he knows all the feelings and thoughts of the characters, and limited if he only know some of them. If the speaker uses the pronoun "I" is a first person narrator or point of view. This last one is the case of the given excerpt.
