3. The sound of lawnmowers roared across the suburb. Nick rose from his bed and slowly walked to the
bathroom. He brushed his teeth and threw on a pair of clothes. Then he ran upstairs. His mom was
working by the oven. "Care for some eggs, Nick?" Nick smiled and said, "Yeah, that'd be great, Mom"
His mom smiled at him and cracked a few more eggs into a large glass bowl. She stirred the eggs while
he put his head down on the table. "Don't fall back asleep. Nick," she said. He chuckled.
Narrator's Perspective:
Explain how you know:

Answer 1

Answer:

Third-person objective

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

• first-person
• second-person
• third-person objective
• third-person limited
• third-person omniscient

The given passage is an example of the third-person objective point of view. The third-person narrative is a type of narrative in which all characters are described from the outside. It's characterized by the use of the grammatical third person (he/she/it). There are several types of third-person point of view:

• omniscient - the narrator knows about the feelings and thoughts of all characters and about everything that takes place in the story.
• limited - the narrator's insight is limited to only one character's thoughts and feelings.
• objective - the narrator simply describes what is happening to the characters in the story and does not reveal anyone's thoughts or feelings.

Here, only Nick's and his mom's actions are being described. We don't see what they think or feel, which makes this an example of the third-person objective point of view.
