Question

which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? it is june 1959. you are twelve years old, and in one week you and your sixth - grade classmates will be graduating from the grammar school you have attended since you were five. it is a splendid day, late spring in its most lustrous incarnation, sunlight pouring down from a cloudless blue sky, warm but not too warm, scant humidity, a soft breeze stirring the air and rippling over your face and neck and bare arms. from paul auster, winter journal. copyright 2012 by paul auster. first person second person third person

Explanation:

The passage uses the pronoun "you" to address the reader or the subject of the narrative, which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. First - person uses "I" or "we", and third - person uses "he", "she", "it", "they" or proper nouns to refer to others. Since this passage consistently uses "you", it is second - person.

Answer:

second person
