Question

read the excerpt from an adaptation of \to build a fire.\ the dog experienced a vague but menacing fear that subdued it and made it slink along at the mans heels, hoping that he would go into camp or seek shelter somewhere and build a fire. the dog had learned fire, and it wanted fire, or else to burrow under the snow and cuddle its warmth away from the air. why does the author use this point of view to tell the story? the first - person narrator reveals the dogs personality. the first - person narrator encourages readers to connect to the dog. the third - person limited narrator reveals only the factual events of the tale. the third - person omniscient narrator suggests the dogs superior instincts.

Explanation:

The excerpt uses a third - person limited point of view, which focuses on the dog's thoughts and feelings. This point of view reveals only the dog's perspective on the events, not all events or all characters' thoughts. It doesn't use a first - person narrator. The third - person limited narrator allows readers to understand the dog's internal state and its desires related to fire and shelter.

Answer:

The third - person limited narrator reveals only the factual events of the tale from the dog's perspective.
