From what point of view is the story "The Gift of the Magi" told? Reread paragraph 45. What do you notice about the story’s point of view in this paragraph?

Answer:

The POV goes from 3rd person to 1st person in paragraph 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout the rest of the text the POV is 3rd person and can be seen to be that because of the references of both main characters as their first names. Meaning, no one is referred to as I, me, or you, unless in a quote.
In the 45th paragraph, it is seemed to be clarifying that somebody else not in the story is retelling the events, as they mention, “And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house (Henry 45).
