Which of the following characteristics help you to determine that the passage is told in first-person point of view?
use of personal pronouns such as I
told from one person's point of view
never the see the dog unless he's around the narrator
never know what other people are thinking unless it is through dialogue
All except for the one about the dog. A 1st person narrator uses I, is only told from 1 POV, and doesn't know what other people are thinking unless they're a mindreader ;)
