Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question.

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.
The passage above is an example of which point of view?

Answer:

First-person

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a first-person point of view. The narrator is telling us this story because he experienced it or witnessed it. Therefore, we can assume that it is the protagonist who is narrating the story and telling us about his or her experiences. We learn this when we notice that the paragraph uses the first person ("there it stood and as far as I know is standing yet").

Your answer would be, The story is told from a First Person Point of View as told by Lizabeth. The story shows the thoughts, and feelings of the main character. as in this part of the passage the author uses imagery.




Hope that helps!!!
