Question

Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?

Alby let go of Thomas's shirt and stepped back, his chest heaving with breaths. "Ain't got
time to be nice, Greenbean. Old life's over, new life's begun. Learn the rules quick, listen,
don't talk. You get me?"
Thomas looked over at Newt, hoping for help. Everything inside him churned and
hurt....
Newt nodded. "Greenie, you get him, right?" He nodded again.
Thomas fumed, wanted to punch somebody. But he simply said, "Yeah."

-first person
-second person
-third person limited
-third person omniscient

Answer 1

-third person limited

Step-by-step explanation:

because it goes to each character in 1st person and ends with whomever said

Answer 2

Third person limited

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage uses the third person limited point of view because here the narrator is not part of the story, and thus, employs third-person pronouns like“his,” “him,” and “he” to narrate the events, and because the narrator is only able to describe the thoughts and feelings of one character only: Thomas', while he or she can only represent the other characters through their speeches and actions, and not through their thoughts.

The third person limited point of view is a type of third-person point of view featuring a narrator that describes the actions, thoughts, and feelings of only one character at a time, usually the main character, as opposed to an omniscient narrator, who knows all the thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story and can describe any part of the backstory.
