Question

Rowlandson’s The Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson can be clearly distinguished as personal narrative due to its being written in which of the following?
A. Second person point of view
B. Third person limited point of view
C. Third person omniscient point of view
D. First person point of view

Answer 1

Answer: D. First person point of view.

First person point of view is the most common point of view for personal narratives. In the first person point of view, the narrator is also the main character of a story, and the narrative is told through the use of the pronoun "I." First person point of view has several advantages. It allows us to have a deep understading of the main character, as well as being extremely vidid and personal. However, it also causes us to know little of the other characters' thoughts and motivations.
