The literary point of view in "The Rescue Mission" affects the reader's understanding of the story because the story is told in the first person. The character himself tells everything that's happening in the story, <em>including, as he tells, his thoughts, everything that is going through his mind.</em> He is not only describing the scenes and events from a distant point of view, without being necessarily connected to the events; <em>on the contrary, he is at the center of events, and everything told goes through his feelings and impressions before getting to the reader.</em>
<em> "I have received years of elite training for missions like this, and I have a spotless track record for at-sea rescues. Why do I always have to convince myself that I am capable of this?"</em> In the passage, it can be observed that the character is <em>talking to himself</em> while he tells the story, therefore, he is also having an <em>unintentional chat with the reader</em>, and introducing to the story his feelings, doubts, thoughts, and points of view. Therefore, it can be understood that the reader's understanding of the story is affected by the literary point of view in "The Rescue Mission" since the story is told in the first person.
