Question

Read the excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul." What narrative point of view does Dreiser use in this excerpt from the story? I had not seen my brother in three or four days, but after I had strolled a block or two up Broadway I encountered him. I have always thought that he had kept an eye on me and had really followed me; was looking, in short, to see what I would do As usual he was most smartly and comfortably dressed.

Answer 1

1st person

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime "I", "we", "me", etc are used that is first person point of view

Answer 2

The narrator uses the first-person point of view all through the excerpt until the last sentence where he switches to third-person point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first-person point of view always speak using "I", "me", "our", "we" etc

The second-person point of view always describes the situation using the the "you" pronoun.

While the third-person point of view speaks using the following pronouns: "He", "it", "they", "their" etc.
