Answer:

Introducing Henry through Lyman's point of view helped reader to understand Henry much better.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Red Convertible" is a short story written by Louise Erdrich. The story is about two brothers, Henry and Lyman. The story is told from Lyman's perspective.

The author, Erdrich used Lyman's perspective to describe Henry before the war. This description helps the readers to understand the change that Henry has gone through during his time as soldier in Vietnam war. Lyman describes Henry funny and humorous before war, but after he returned from the war, we see serious Henry.
