Answer 1

Answer:

The emotions that has been emphasized by the author using 'first person narrative' are astonishment, bewilderment, and relief.

Explanation:

"The Market Square Dog" is a short story written by James Herriot. The story is about a dog whose owner left him to survive on his own.

One day, this dog met with an accident, and was brought to the narrator's hoouse, as he was a vet. The story has been narrated in the first person narrative. There are several emotions that the author has displayed by using the first person point of view.

The emotions are of shock, astonishment, bewilderment, and relief as well.

The supportive evidences are:

" 'Arrested?' I said in astonishment. 'What do you mean?' "

" I was bewildered. 'What are you talking about? A dog can’t be arrested.' "

The narrator was relieved when he got to know that the policeman was joking.

"A wave of relief swept over me."

" 'Well, you certainly took me in,'” I said. “Arrested indeed!' "
