Read the passage: "The rain hammered the tin roof as I watched the old man shuffle down the lane, his cane tapping a lonely rhythm. I wondered why he never spoke of the war that had scarred his village." Identify the narrative perspective and discuss how this perspective influences the reader's perception of the protagonist's motivations.
Answer Options
A.
The passage is narrated in objective (camera‑eye) perspective. This neutral narration leaves the reader without insight into any character's thoughts, so the protagonist's motivations remain ambiguous.
Correct Answer
B.
The passage is narrated in first‑person limited perspective. This viewpoint lets the reader experience the narrator's curiosity and empathy, shaping the perception of the protagonist's motivations as compassionate and personal.
C.
The passage is narrated in second‑person perspective. By addressing the reader directly, it forces the audience to project their own feelings onto the protagonist's motivations.
D.
The passage is narrated in third‑person omniscient perspective. This distance prevents the reader from accessing the narrator's inner thoughts, making the protagonist's motivations seem detached and impersonal.
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
The passage is narrated in first‑person limited perspective. This viewpoint lets the reader experience the narrator's curiosity and empathy, shaping the perception of the protagonist's motivations as compassionate and personal.
