There is no word underlined but I'm guessing finite is the one being discussed. if that is the case then the word that's closest is limited. To say that there were a finite number of tickets is the same as saying there were a limited number of tickets.
We write and speak in three different 'persons' . . .
Let's say I'm telling you something about Sam.
I'm the first person. You're the second person. Sam is the third person.
First Person: I, we, us
Second Person: You, you-all
Third Person: He, she, it, they, them
So there are three different ways to write or tell the same story.
Most stories that you read are written either in the First person or the Third person.
<u>"First-person narrative" is a story being told by the person it's about</u>.
"I'm Al. I got up in the morning. Then I got dressed, I went to the store, and bought milk."
"Third-person narrative is a story being told about somebody.
"Sam got up in the morning. Then he got dressed, he went to the store, and he got milk."
I saved "Second-person narrative" for last, because it's not used very often
and so it sounds weird. But there ARE whole books written in Second-person:
"Your name is Johhny Schlaffgut. You went to bed early last night because
yesterday was a tough day at the office and you were tired. But this morning
you felt OK. You woke up, you got dressed, and you went to the store for milk."
Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted.
Here is the excerpt from the novel:
"Even if Johnny did live he'd
be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in
that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to
be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would
swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).
