He figured she may never forgive him for his deception, but that she still deserves to know. As he considered this, his mom walked beside him without saying a word. She was aware of her son's actions,

Read the narrative and determine the point of view: "As the teen walked along the beach with his mother, he knew he had to tell her the verifiable truth. He figured she may never forgive him for his deception, but that she still deserves to know. As he considered this, his mom walked beside him without saying a word. She was aware of her son's actions, and was just waiting for him to act responsibly by admitting it. She kept watching out of the corner of her eye, allowing herself a small smile and enjoying his obvious discomfort." First person Second person Third-person limited Third-person objective Third-person omniscient

please help

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

I can help, give me a second to read the narrative :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankss

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

In first person it would be I felt this you ran over there etc.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I can't decide if it is 3rd person omniscent or 3rd person objective

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

In Second Person it is You are doing this (to the reader) So it is not First or Second

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

It is not third person limited because the narrarator is not limited in thinking (He knows everyones thoughts

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

And omniscent means "all knowing" in Latin

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I am thinking objective...3rd person...because the narrator is neutral...he is just an observer

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

so what does this make you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankss you guys

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

What answer did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thrid person objective ?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Omniscent, because the narrarator knows all thoughts " He figured she may never forgive him for his deception, but that she still deserves to know. As he considered this,"

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

enjoying his obvious discomfort."

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

so the narrarator knows everyones thoguhts and feelings, objective means you do not know anyones feelings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh now i get it do you think you can help me with a few more .^.

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Read the narrative and determine the point of view: "As the teen walked along the beach with his mother, he knew he had to tell her the truth. He realized she may never forgive him for the deception, but that she deserves to know. He thought that to recover her trust, he would need to demonstrate responsibility now for what he did and be honest about it." First person Second person Third-person limited Third-person objective Third-person omniscient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here it is

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okiee

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

since this only talks about the boy, and it is still third person (No I's or Yous)

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

What do you think it is (hint no mention of his mothers feeling etc)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thrid person objective ?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Nope, objective can not delve into the person thoughts or feelings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so limited ?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

yep, limited means the narrarator only knows the thoughts/feelings of one character

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i have like two more im trying to get a good grade lol

Read the narrative and determine the point of view: "As you walked along the beach with your mom, you knew it was time to tell her the facts about what happened. She may never pardon you for your deceit, but you sense that she deserves to know. You think that to regain her trust, you need to demonstrate responsibility now for what you did and be honest about it." First person Second person Third-person limited Third-person objective Third-person omniscient

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

So what do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first person ?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

The narrator is putting you into the story, instead of you telling the story about yourself, (which is why he is saying You did this You thought this etc.)

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Second POV is you are being put into the story, so the narrator constantly says YOU instead of I or THEM HE SHE etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh like this is hard for me andd i dont know why its so easy -.- . okay the next one is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read the narrative and determine the point of view: "The teen walked along the beach with his mom, though neither one spoke to the other. The son kept glancing at his mother, sometimes with a furrowed brow, other times with wide eyes. He would start to open his mouth, but then would hastily close it again. His mother continued her steady walking, considering him out of the corner of her eye. Sometimes she smiled a thin smile, but generally she kept her mouth closed." First person Second person Third-person limited Third-person objective Third-person omniscient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt it be Third-person omniscient

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Does it know either of the characters thoughts? (in omniscent all the characters feelings/thoughts are known)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

no, the narrator does not know, he just describes their actions, So it is third person, just not omniscent

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

limited: One persons thoughts/feelings objective: nobodies thoughts.feelings
