Match each narrative point of view to the appropriate set of pronouns.
solong [7]

The answer is:

<h3>First person : I, me, my, mine, we</h3>

The first person point of view allows the reader the see the story through the narrator's eyes, with his or her feelings, motives and inner thoughts.

<h3>Second person : you, your</h3>

The second person point of view is not very often used in fiction. In such cases, the narrator tells the story to the readers by addressing them with the word "you" and making them a character. In this way, readers have the feeling they are involved in the story.

<h3>Third person : he, she, it, they</h3>

In the third person point of view, the story is told by a bodiless narrator who describes the feelings and thoughts of several characters, and the events that occur to them in the story. As a consequence, readers have a wider view of the characters emotions and ideas.

How might guilt, or feelings of regret, affect your relationship with someone? Respond.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation

Explanation:

We are all humans built with different emotional characteristics once a relationship has ended we of course tend to recall the hurtful/painful aspects of it so when we , I , meet someone new I'm finding myself to be more guarded more cations and reserved out of fear of not rejection but the pain again so when we, I, look at someone new but with the eyes of my memories I'm not only cheated the person but myself because look, we try very hard to find a “ good kind “ etc person but we all know we kiss a load of toads and if we are lucky to find the prince so if we carry over our fears our hurts and we tend to expect that so we end up missing out on the good as well.
