Read the passage below. Then explain how the use of a third-person omniscient point of view helps develop the characters in the
story. Use specific examples from the text in supporting your response. Passage
As the credits faded out, Milo pressed stop on the remote control and turned to his best friends, Phil, Britt, and Clay, who were jammed into the small love seat in front of the TV. Milo was excited to hear their thoughts on his first short film but was nervous just the same. Phil held his tongue, even though he wanted to tell Milo that clearly Milo never should have left medical school for this. Britt kept thinking that this was the worst movie she'd ever seen, like it was made in 10 minutes on someone's smartphone. Clay had drifted off halfway through and had become more concerned by a bird that was flapping outside the basement window. In the silence, Milo finally spoke: "Well, what did you think? Should I move to Hollywood?" Milo's three friends shot up and applauded, yelling "Bravo!" and whistling as they showered Milo with compliments. Milo beamed with pride.
Answer: The use of a third-person point of view helps develop the characters of this story by showing the thoughts of all the characters. For example, when Milo was finished playing his movie for his friends, it shares his thoughts. “Milo was excited to hear their thoughts on his first short film but was nervous just the same.” All of his friends disliked his movie, and you could tell because they were all thinking about how it was the worst movie, or drifting off. Like how in the text it says “Britt kept thinking that this was the worst movie she'd ever seen, like it was made in 10 minutes on someone's smartphone. Clay had drifted off halfway through and had become more concerned by a bird that was flapping outside the basement window.” That is how the use of a third-person omniscient point of view helps develops the characters.
