Answer 1

The passage from C.S. Lewis's 'Prince Caspian' uses the third person limited point of view, focusing on specific characters from the outside without offering insights into every character's thoughts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from C.S. Lewis's Prince Caspian uses the third person limited point of view. The narrator is outside the story, focusing on the thoughts and actions of specific characters without offering insight into the inner thoughts of all characters. The use of pronouns such as 'he,' 'she,' and 'they,' as well as the direct description of actions and dialogue, support this identification. Unlike the first person point of view used by Mark Twain in his excerpt from Life on the Mississippi, where 'I' and 'me' are prominent, the narration in Prince Caspian does not include these personal pronouns or the intimacy of the first person narrative.

Answer 2

The narrator uses a third person limited point of view in the passage from "Prince Caspian" by C.S. Lewis, describing actions and dialogue without delving into the characters' internal thoughts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of view used by the narrator in the passage from C.S. Lewis' "Prince Caspian" is third person limited. This narrative perspective is evident as the narrator describes the actions and dialogue of the characters using third person pronouns such as 'everyone', 'they', and 'he' without insight into any character's internal thoughts or feelings. Unlike third person omniscient, the limited point of view does not provide the thoughts and emotions of all characters, and the narration is limited to what can be observed from the outside.
