Question

What can the reader learn from the passage because it is in third-person omniscient point of view? It was a dark, crazy night. The sound of rain and thunder filled Mrs. Windermere’s dining room. The guests sat around the mahogany table. All five of them sipped the soup, feeling thankful for having found shelter before the rain started. John Culkin, the youngest guest, mentally counted the number of fish paintings in the room. Mrs. Windermere was an expert sailor, and she loved the beauty of sea creatures. Max Cena took off his tight shoes under the table, enjoying the cushiony softness of the carpet. Rachel Gellar amused herself by guessing what was inside each of the silver pots on the table. Buffalo wings, she thought to herself when she came to the round pot in the center.

Answer 1

If we were to read this story in First Person POV, we would most likely be in Mrs. Windermere's POV. However, in third-person POV, we know that:

• All of the guests were thankful for the shelter.
• John Culkin is the youngest guest
• He mentally counted the fish paintings in the room
• Max Cena had tight shoes on
• Max Cena enjoyed the soft carpet.
• Rachel Gellar found ways to amuse herself
• Rachel Gellar guessed that buffalo wings hid under a silver pot.

While this is not necessary, vital information, it can certainly show how much we can dive deeper into a story just by reading in Third Person.
