Question

what is the effect of the authors choice to use the third - person limited point of view in the story \hamadi\ by naomi shihab nye?
the reader learns the thoughts and motivations of the main character only.
the reader learns the thoughts and motivations of all the characters.
the reader does not learn the thoughts and motivations of anyone but the narrator.
the reader does not learn the thoughts and motivations of any of the characters.

Explanation:

In third - person limited point of view, the narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one main character. This allows the reader to understand that character's motivations while being limited to their perspective. It is not omniscient (which would reveal all characters' thoughts) and not just the narrator's thoughts are shown.

Answer:

The reader learns the thoughts and motivations of the main character only.
