Question

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

First-person

Step-by-step explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

• second-person
• third-person limited
• first-person
• third-person omniscient

In the given excerpt, Dreiser uses the first-person point of view. This point of view is recognized by the use of the first person: pronouns I or we. In this type of narrative, the storyteller tells us about events from their own point of view. This way, it seems as if we are in the character's head or like we are a part of the story.
