Answer:

How is the first-person narrator limited in a story?

A. The narrator might be mistaken or biased about the elements of the story.

Explanation:

A first-person narrator is usually a character in the very story he is telling. For that reason, he can only tell the audience the things he knows, which can be limited or erroneous, or his assumptions, which can be quite biased.

Readers will only receive the information that narrator has, permeated with his opinions and views. First-person narrators are known for not being trustworthy. They may believe something that is in fact false, or they may even choose to lie to readers. They lack impartiality since the story being told is influenced by their feelings.

Example: A famous Brazilian author, Machado de Assis, wrote a novel called "Dom Casmurro". The narrator in this novel believes he was cheated on by his wife. However, there is no way for readers to know for sure. The narrator conveys his emotions and deductions from the things he sees - or thinks he sees. He can be wrong, even if he believes to be right.

Summary of THE BALL POEM
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The Ball Poem” is a very subtle and beautiful poem about a little boy’s growing up. The poet sees this little boy one day when he has just lost his ball. The loss of his ball is teaching him that in life, we often lose things and they cannot be easily replaced. Such lessons are a part of growing up, and everyone has to learn them at some point in time or the other. However, it is painful for the poet to watch the boy in his sad state. He is sure that the ball, as well as the person who whistles by the boy, feels the same way as he does.
