Question

What is the effect of the use of a first-person point of view in the story "Gumption"? It creates a feeling of objectivity for the reader. It allows the reader to understand every characters' thoughts. It helps the reader to invest in the main character, Sylvester. It reveals the story's theme.

Answer 1

The answer is C. It helps the reader to better understand the change Sylvester undergoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is it helps the reader to invest in the main character, Sylvester.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the use of a First-Person point of view shows the inner-thoughts, feelings, and ideas of the narrator (or main character). An objective view of something is void of emotions. It is an unbiased text, therefore choice A is incorrect. Answer choice B is also incorrect because understanding "ever characters' thoughts" is Third-Person omniscient, not First-Person. I believe answer choice D is incorrect because the theme of the story is not dependent upon the point of view in which the story is being told.
