Question

The following question refers to “A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote.

Answer 1

C.  The story is being told from second-person perspective.

The story “A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote is actually told from the perspective of Buddy, who is a 7-year-old boy.  Because it is told from the perspective of the protagonist, 7-year-old Buddy, you will see a lot of use of the personal pronoun “I” in reference to him.  As such, it is safe to say that the false statement in this list of statements is “C. The story is being told from the second-person perspective,” and this would be evident because anything told in second person would utilize the use of the personal pronoun “you,” which is what you would really only see in instructional text and Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type of literature.
