Answer:
It was a beautiful autumn day. The trees whispered in a crisp, cool breeze, their gold and red leaves on display. The river babbled nonstop, gushing by at a somewhat alarming rate. The still scent of early snow hung threateningly in the air. In the midst of it all, one of the smallest mammals found herself panicking in a rush to find food before a heavy layer of snow blanketed the ground tonight. The fluffy-tailed, brown-coated squirrel frantically clawed up clumps of dirt, rooting through the thick undergrowth. She had searched nearly half the area around her home, when suddenly...a snowflake landed on her nose. She cried out in dismay, sobbing as she desperately tore up the ground. Seconds passed. Minutes. Hours. The moon had awoken from its deep slumber, winking at the world as clouds passed over it. Her paws had grown numb and she could barely see past her own nose, the snow falling quicker and quicker around her. It showed the promise of a blizzard. A starving wolf howled in the distance, wondering where all the deer went. The squirrel paid him no mind, attempting to retrace her tracks back to her home. She didn't hear the pounding paws rushing toward her, muffled by the flurrying snow. She didn't notice the shadow suddenly blanketing her. She didn't notice the icy breath freezing in the air around her.
And it was too late.

The point of view presented by Ponyboy allows the reader to understand the events in a more personal and intimate way, as Ponyboy shows how he perceives things and how he feels about them.
Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is from the book "The Outsiders." Unfortunately, you didn't show the chapter to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for me to answer it specifically, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
As we read these books, we can see that:
- The narrator of the book is Ponyboy, who is also the protagonist of the story.
- Ponyboy lives with his older brothers.
- They live with little economic resources and all are involved with street gangs.
- There is a lot of rivalry between street gangs, which creates a lot of violence and danger for the members.
- Ponyboy witnesses these dangers many times, as he is part of the greaser gang, which is the enemy of the socs.
When we look at the narration of these conflicts between the gangs, we can see that Ponyboy does not feel represented by either side of the conflict, for this reason, he narrates the events in a more intimate way, reinforcing the sense of displacement he feels.
While Ponyboy doesn't feel like he belongs to any of these gangs, his brothers are very loyal to the greaser gang. In that case, if they narrated the conflicts, they would present a narrative with a strong bias towards how the greasers acted.
