Question

Select the correct answer. How many characters' thoughts does the reader have access to in a second-person narrative? A. One B. Two C. All D. None E. Three

Answer 1

I think the answer is A because second person is what manuals and directions are written it, but I could be wrong.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A. One

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, the second-person point of view commonly occurs when the narrator is a character that is somehow involved in the story and he or she tells the events that occur in the story by using the pronoun "you" which involves the reader itself into the narrative. Because of this, in second person point of view the narrator only includes the thoughts, feelings and perspective of himself or herself as a character, which implies the narrator does not have access to other characters or to the person the narrator is addressing and therefore in a second-person narrative the reader would only have access to the thoughts of one character who is also the narrator or voice that tells the story.
