Answer is A) This is the first time I have met you.
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.

There are many themes in the novel Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and certainly the most important of them is the concept of sin and how it should be treated. As you already know, the heroine of this novel is Hester Prynne, who cheated on her husband and was thus condemned by the whole society, which didn't want to forgive her. Another theme is love, primarily between Hester and the priest, but also between Hester and her child. The position of women in society is another theme.
In deciding destiny, I think both are important and play a significant role. Each person's destiny is decided by what he is and what he does; and what every person is to be or do is determined by what he lives for, thinks for, or works for.
