Final answer:
The perspective in 'Mrs. Bertha Flowers' can be identified by examining the pronouns used and the range of knowledge the narrator has about the characters. Option B,
Step-by-step explanation:
To identify the perspective in 'Mrs. Bertha Flowers', it's essential to understand the different points of view that can be used in storytelling. The perspective, often known as the point of view, is the mode of narration that an author uses to let the reader “hea” and “see” what takes place in a story.
In first-person narration, the story is told from the perspective of the narrator using pronouns such as 'I' or 'we', and we get a personal account from a character within the story. Second-person narration addresses the reader directly using pronouns like 'you', making the reader a character in the story.
Third-person limited narration offers a view from the outside looking in, and focuses on the thoughts and feelings of just one character. With third-person omniscient narration, the narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of every character, acting like a god-like observer.
To determine the point of view used in 'Mrs. Bertha Flowers', you would consider whether the story uses 'I', 'you', or 'he/she/they', and whether the narrator seems to know the thoughts and feelings of one or multiple characters. If the story uses 'I' and only provides the inner thoughts of the speaking character, it is first-person.
If 'you' is used to engage the reader directly, it is second-person.
If 'he/she/they' is used without revealing the inner thoughts of the characters, it could be third-person objective or limited; if only one character's thoughts and feelings are revealed, it is third-person limited. If the narrator knows everything about all characters, the perspective is third-person omniscient.
So Option B.
