Final answer:
To determine the point of view in the chapters about Sarah, identify the narration style based on pronoun usage and the narrator's scope of knowledge. Second-person uses "you," first-person uses "I" or "we," third-person limited focuses on specific characters with "he," "she," or "they," while third-person omniscient has complete insight into all characters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine whether the chapters detailing Sarah's story are written in first-person, second-person, third-person limited, or third-person omniscient, one must look for specific pronouns and how the story is being told. In second-person narration, the narrator directly addresses the reader using "you" and "your," creating a sense of speaking to the audience.
This is less common in literary narratives. First-person narration would use "I" or "we," indicating that the story is being told through the eyes of a character within the story.
In third-person limited narration, the narrator does not participate in the story and uses third-person pronouns such as "he," "she," or "they," aligning closely with one or a few characters and sharing only the thoughts and experiences of those characters.
On the other hand, a third-person omniscient narrator also uses third-person pronouns but has a god-like perspective with access to all characters' thoughts, feelings, and actions, whether they are present in the scene or not.
If Sarah's story only reveals her thoughts and experiences, without the insight into what other characters are thinking unless expressed outwardly, then it is written in third-person limited. If the narrator knows everything about every character and can see into each one's mind, then the story is in third-person omniscient.
The correct answer will depend on the specific way the story about Sarah is narrated.
