Cevap

First-person point of view, where an active participant reveals personal thoughts and secret involvement in the events.
The passage uses first-person pronouns ('I', 'my', 'We') and provides direct access to the speaker's internal feelings and private actions, which is the defining characteristic of a first-person narrative point of view.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the pronouns used by the narrator in the passage.
Pronouns such as 'We', 'I', and 'my' indicate that the speaker is a character within the story.
First-person narrative point of view is explicitly signalled by first-person personal and possessive pronouns.
2
Analyze the access to internal thoughts and feelings.
The narrator shares internal feelings ('my heart raced') and secret actions ('penned by my own hand') while noting the elder is 'unaware'.
This establishes that the narrative perspective is subjective and limited to the speaker's own internal consciousness.
3
Synthesize the point of view with narrative style.
The excerpt demonstrates a first-person participatory narrative style carrying private knowledge unknown to other characters.
Matching pronoun usage and internal access confirms first-person participant point of view.
