○ it allows readers to learn historical facts about immigrating to a new country
○ it creates suspense about future events
○ it allows readers insight into the narrators internal conflicts and experiences
○ it shows multiple perspectives on cultural identity that lend insight into various characters

Explanation:

First-person perspective centers the narrator's personal thoughts, feelings, and direct experiences. It does not prioritize historical facts, create suspense as its core strength, or show multiple character perspectives (that is typical of third-person omniscient). Its key value is giving readers direct access to the narrator's inner world, including conflicts and personal experiences.

Answer:

C. It allows readers insight into the narrator's internal conflicts and experiences
