Final answer:

The passages provided must be analyzed to determine their respective points of view, varying from first-person to third-person omniscient and limited perspectives, by understanding how the narrator relates to the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires the identification of the point of view of the narrator in several passages. These passages vary in their narrative voice and perspective, from first-person to third-person omniscient, and third-person limited.

For example, in the passage 'All through the meal he stopped eating at intervals, and stared furtively at his wife...', the point of view is third-person limited, as it closely follows one character's perspective and thoughts. The hunger artist passage uses a third-person omniscient perspective, as it dips into the thoughts of multiple characters including the hunger artist and the children. 'In Howell's poem...' illustrates the use of first-person, shifting from narrative to interrogative to lyrical voice. Moreover, the last passage from George Percy's 'A True Relation...' offers an example of a first-person historical account presenting events and experiences from the narrator's direct perspective.
