The narrative perspective is third‑person omniscient, offering insights into all characters. The narrator's detached, clinical tone presents the family in a neutral manner, emphasizing their ordinary routines without irony.
B.

The narrative perspective is first‑person, narrated by the grandmother herself. The narrator's nostalgic, sentimental tone paints the family as warm and cohesive, softening the story's darker elements.
