Answer 10

What do you think @Mr.Z

Answer 11

I would agree to A.

Answer 12

Ok, thank you for clearing that, um can i get a explanation? I am a little foggy on this still.

Answer 13

Because a "character’s comments about himself or herself" is just what the character thinks or says about themselves. It could be a lie.

Like if the protagonist (they're human for this example) says they are a dragon when in fact they're human.

"Unveiling the thoughts and actions of the character" covers all bases when it comes to a story.

Answer 14

The character's opinion and the fact of the story aren't always on the same level.

Answer 15

Oh, ok so i read that wrong, thank you so much for clearing up my confusion.
