Question

heriff Wolf's hands were on his hips. He stood about ten feet back from the saloon and shouted, "Come on out, Bart. We've got a nice bowl of soup waiting for you at the jail house." Bart shouted back, "Call off your men, Sheriff, or I'm going to start shooting hostages." Bart cocked his weapon and pointed it at the piano player. The piano player started whimpering. Sheriff Wolf put his hands up in the air and said, "No need to do that, Bart. We've still got plenty of talking to do. But if I hear shots, we're done talking." Bart lowered his weapon. What is the point of view of this story?

Answer 1

The story is written from a third-person limited point of view, where the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of only one or a few characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of view in the story you are asking about, based on the provided passages, appears to be third-person limited. This means that the narrator is not a character within the story, but knows the thoughts and feelings of one or a few characters instead of all. In the exchanges between characters such as Sheriff Wolf and Bart, or the interactions in 'the kitchen of the now abandoned farmhouse', the narrator describes the actions and speech of the characters without delving into the inner thoughts of everyone involved.
