Question

Match each excerpt to the type of narration technique it uses.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Second person.
• First person.
• Limited third-person omniscient.
• Third person.

Explanation:

These are the points of view that each passage reflects. First person refers to the narrator talking about himself. Therefore, he uses the pronoun "I." Second person occurs when the narrator addresses the reader, and he uses the pronoun "you." Limited third-person omniscient happens when the author has full access to the mind of a single character. Finally, third person happens when the narrator can see everything that is happening in the story, even when the characters are not aware of these things.

Answer 2

Answer:

2nd person

1st person

3rd limited

3rd omniscient

Explanation:

When a character who is directly involved in the action narrates the story, the narration is from the first-person point of view. The excerpt from “Sunday at Home” by Nathaniel Hawthorne matches this description.

In second-person narratives, the storyteller addresses a character in the story throughout the narration (often using the pronoun you). This is true of the excerpt from “The Haunted Mind” by William Faulkner.

Third-person narrators are observers who see the events in a story from a distance. Sometimes the narrator is close to a character in a story and lets the audience see the story from that character’s view point. This mode of narration is third-person limited. The excerpt from The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway matches this description

When the narrator speaks as if he knows all about every character and event, the point of view is third-person omniscient. The excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens matches this description.
