How does the narrator’s point of view influence how the events are described in the passage?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

C. The narrator feels shame about what happened but still tries to tell the story in a truthful way.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Man in the Well" by Ira Sher. In this story, we learn about a group of children who find a man in a well, but decide not to help him, and instead, they tease him for days. The narrator tells the story as an adult, and he gives us several hints of the fact that he is embarrassed, such as the fact that he will never go close to the well again. Despite this embarrassment, the author succeeds in telling the story in a truthful way.
