Question

Read the excerpt below from the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck and answer the question that follows.

Answer 1

I want to say it will be first-person. Third-person is an outside voice, someone that is not a character in the plot. It seems as if the narrator is talking about himself, which is why I deduce it to being a first-person point of view.

Answer 2

Answer:

The narrator's point of view in the excerpt from the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck is first person.

Explanation:

There are various points of view an author can use when writing a story. The first person point of view uses the first person pronoun I  -ocasionally, the first person plural we could be used- to tell the story, so the narrator is the one telling the story. This is the case of the excerpt from the novel East of Eden.
