What type of Point of View is the excerpt; "Crash!" The sound of falling bowling pins fills the air. You walk to the counter and address the attendant. You mention that he has given you shoes in the wrong size. He politely corrects the error. You walk back to your party. It is your turn. You put on your shoes, find your ball, and approach the lane. You wait until the lanes are clear. Then you waddle up to the lane and roll the ball between your legs, grandma style. Your friends cheer. The bumpers ensure that the roll is devastating.

Answer:

In literature, point of view is a point from which the story is told, or who is narrating the story.

There are three basic points of view:

- first - when the character is the one who tells the story. Its most prominent feature is the use of "I" and "we".

second - most prominent feature is the use if "you"

- third - the narrator uses "he" "she" it" "they" to tell a story.

Excessive use of the pronoun "you" ( you walk... you mention... you put... you wait... you waddle up...) suggests that this is second-person point of view.
