What point of view do you think it is?

aleah54 · Answer

I think it can be interpreted differently because some people think in different ways, and when something is written differently it can have a change in perception.

gracygirl · Answer

I see where you are coming from, I sort of see that it could be first or third. I would think it would be first person because of the "I's" if it was a narrator (3rd person) there wouldn't be those.

gracygirl · Answer

I could be wrong but I do not think I am on that, I would answer it is in 1st person.

gracygirl · Answer

As far as how changing the views would effect the story, what do you think would be different if it was switched from 1st to 3rd?

aleah54 · Answer

it would ummm i don't know

gracygirl · Answer

(sorry doing homework myself) 

It would read differently, I'm not quite sure of the exact answer myself. Instead of "I" it would end up being "he" or "she"...

aleah54 · Answer

aleah54 · Answer

somtime like that im not for sure

gracygirl · Answer

Well if it was third person the text wouldn't be from the person who is speaking's point of view. Third person is someone telling someone elses story.

aleah54 · Answer

yeah
