John sat quietly in his chair, thinking. It had been one of the worst days of his life, and he needed time to process the events of the afternoon. He sat without moving for a half hour, fighting back tears. Then, suddenly, he smiled and laughed for the first time since they buried Jackson. He looked up and saw his mother standing in the doorway. She looked sad, but she smiled and said, "It's okay to laugh, John."

What information might the reader have if the above passage were written in the first-person point of view?

He could be scared because in the passage it says he was sitting quiet in the chair and he wasn’t interacting anything

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First-person point of view is a way to tell a story where the narrator uses the subject pronouns I or we, and all the information is related to the speaker's perspective.

Based on the information provided in the paragraph, we would know what John was thinking about; another thing would be how or why his day was so bad as well as his thoughts about Jackson's death.
