Which of the following is an example of an author’s purpose for using first-person point of view? A. to point out details the ch
aracter would not notice B. to present the thoughts and feelings of the other characters C. to prevent other characters from sharing their thoughts and feelings
The answer is: A. to point out details the character would not notice.
The first-person point of view is a literary device that allows readers to get to know that character's thoughts, feelings and motives. Because the narrator refers to himself with words like <em>I, me, my </em>and <em>mine</em>, the story is seen through his or her eyes. As a consequence, it is not impartial and it may suggest features which are unknown or unnoticeable to the narrator. For example, they might not realize they have a psychological condition.
Answer: The first character who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet is Romeo himself. The first reason Romeo is to blame is that he went uninvited to the Capulet party. If Romeo did not go to the party, Romeo would have never met Juliet, and Tybalt would never have known he was there.
