Zorluk: KolayNarrative Techniques and Point of View

Read the passage below:

"Adewale walked slowly into the village square, his mind heavy with memories of his childhood. He saw the elders sitting under the baobab tree, discussing the upcoming harvest. Behind him, Amina watched his every move, wondering if he would finally speak to the chief about the land dispute."

Which narrative point of view is employed in the passage above?

  1. A
    First-person narrative perspective
  2. Third-person omniscient perspectiveCevap
  3. C
    Third-person limited perspective
  4. D
    Second-person narrative perspective

Cevap

Third-person omniscient perspective
The passage is written from a Third-person omniscient perspective because an external narrator describes events using third-person pronouns and possesses all-knowing insight into the internal feelings and thoughts of more than one character (Adewale's memories and Amina's private thoughts).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the pronouns used by the narrator in the passage
The text uses third-person pronouns such as 'he', 'his', and character names ('Adewale', 'Amina'), ruling out first-person ('I') and second-person ('you').
Establishing pronoun usage narrows down whether the point of view is first, second, or third person.
2
Analyze the extent of the narrator's knowledge regarding character thoughts and feelings
The narrator reveals Adewale's internal state ('his mind heavy with memories') as well as Amina's internal thoughts ('wondering if he would finally speak').
Access to the inner minds of multiple characters distinguishes an omniscient (all-knowing) third-person narrator from a limited third-person narrator.
