It is told from A, the first person. Because it says 'I' in the text, which is the first person, as opposed to 'he/she/it', which is the third person.

These sentences that make part of the beginning of a short story are written in the A, first person. The first reason is grammatical; because the pronoun "I" used from beginning to end of the excerpt is the main characteristic of the first person singular. Second, in the stories written in first person, you do not have access to any information from the story save the one the main narrator is giving you, which means your view on the story is limited only to that one person who is narrating the story. All you will experience from the story will depend on that first person singular narrator who is witnessing the events and retelling them to you from his/her perspective.

Why would an author most likely begin a story in medias res?

Alika [10]

Answer:

The answer would be C. To foreshadow the characters' actions.

Explanation:

Medias res is a literary device in which the story begins in the middle of the plot, and not at the beginning. Writers use this literary device to show specific events/actions to the reader that are connected w/ events that have already happened and are probably going to help future events.

So, your answer would be C because past actions of the character have most likely influenced the story to where it starts. You, as the reader, will have to use information provided mostly in flashbacks to guess how that story gets into the point presented at the beginning which is the middle of the story.
