Question

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

My mother got very upset. She grabbed my shoulder and shook it. "I told you not to go
there, Philip," she said angrily. "We are at war! Don't you understand?"
"We just wanted to see the submarines," I said.
My mother closed her eyes and pulled me up against her thin body. She was like that.
One minute, shaking me; the next, holding me.

Answer 1

First Person

Step-by-step explanation:

Although this passage uses words like She and it we can still see this is in the view of Phillip which makes it first person because we can see his point of view only. For example Phillip says "She was like that" this is something that only we can hear because he didn't say it aloud.
