Which point of view does the author use in this
passage?
Finally, I did get across. Late one night me and my wife
went. I had gone back to the plantation to get her. Mr.
Rankins had him a bell by this time, along with the light.
We were rowin and rowin. We could see the light and
hear that bell, but it seemed we weren't getting any
closer. It took forever, it seemed. That was because we
were so scared and it was so dark and we knew we could
get caught and never get gone.
