Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
\weve got father and mother and one another,\ said beth. beth was the shy one. she always looked on the bright side of things. \we havent got father,\ said jo sadly. \and we might not have him for a very long time.\ the girls were suddenly silent. light from the fire shone on their faces. they were thinking of father. he was fighting in a war far away. he wouldnt be home for christmas.
from louisa may alcott, little women
first person
second person
third person limited
The passage uses third-person pronouns (she, they, he) to refer to the characters, and it reveals the inner thoughts/feelings of the girls (e.g., Jo's sadness, their thinking of Father) without accessing the perspectives of all possible characters, which fits third person limited. First person uses "I/we" as the narrator, and second person uses "you", neither of which appear here.
