Answer 6

and limited and Multiple(Third person)

Answer 7

I am not sure if it is obejective point of view or omniscient point of view.

Answer 8

Third Person Limited: Limited means that the POV is limited to only one character. Which means that the narrator only knows what that character knows. With third person limited you can choose to view the action from right inside the character's head, or from further away, where the narrator has more access to information outside the protagonist's viewpoint.
Third Person Multiple: This type is still in the "he/she/it" category, but now the narrator can follow multiple characters in the story. The challenge is making sure that the reader knows when you are switching from one character to another. Make the switch obvious with chapter or section breaks.
Third Person Omniscient: This point of view still uses the "he/she/it" narration but now the narrator knows EVERYTHING. The narrator isn't limited by what one character knows, sort of like the narrator is God. The narrator can know things that others don't, can make comments about what's happening, and can see inside the minds of other characters.

Answer 9

The character's actions are mentioned , but not any feeling or thoughts, I believe it leads me to objective point of view.

Answer 10

However, indirect characterization is used, I mean that character's actions are made, but you can guess from dialogues how they feel. Does this mean that character's feelings are mentioned?
