Point of View

1. What point of view does the story use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the character in the story, and refer to himself or herself as "I"? Or is the story told from a third-person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story?

    The point of view in this story is third-person perspective, because the narrator didn't participate in the events of the story. The story was talking about Anna's life, and Anna is not the one who is talking in the story, so this can't be first-person perspective.

2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?

      Use third-person perspective as the point of view can help the reader to know more detail about the accident and the story, if they use first-person, then the detail about the accident may not be that much.

3. Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he/she have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?

     The narrator is relible, she is the daughter of the main character. She have a limiter knowledge of characters and events in the story, because she didn't see by her own eyes. Everything that she know is from her mom, so she may not know that much about the events in the story.

4. Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he even unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?

     The author used point of view primarily to reveal. She try her best to tell everything that she know to the reader.
