Answer 5

As you can imagine, first person is the character viewing themself. I am going to the mall.

Second person is the character viewing someone else. You are going to the mall.

Third person is someone viewing the character. Jack is going to the mall.

Limited and unlimited (omniscient) are aspects of third person. Limited means that someone (the narrator) is viewing only that one person. Unlimited or omniscient means that the narrator is viewing everyone, which means that not only will the narrator know the feelings and wishes of Jack, but Emily and Veronica as well.

Answer 6

They all wanted to go to the mall would encompass an unlimited third person view.

Answer 7

Answer 9

That's the one I was unfamiliar with. I looked it up and the distinction is actually quite simple. A reliable narrator is objective, whilst an unreliable narrator is subjective. You can judge the reliability of a narrator on the basis of their capacity to be impartial.
