Point of View Questionaires (One Thousand Dollars)

1. What point of view does the story use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the characters in the story, and refers to himself or herself as "I"? Or is the story told from a third-person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story?

        No it is not told in 1st person perspective, but it's in3rd person perspective, which means the narrator is not one of the characters in the story and he/she is not participating in the events of the story.

2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?

     The advantages of a third person objective point of view is that you get to see everything that is happening and the reactions that occur from the actions. And all of that can furnish clues as to the purpose of the story.

3. Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he/she have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?

     Yes, he is reliable and he understand the characters and events in the strory. He knows everything about every character, including inner thoughts.

4. Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he/she ever unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?

      He uses it in both ways, and sometimes he uses it to reveal some information about the character, and he also sometimes uses it to conceal some information. Most of the time, he/she does not unfairly withhold important information.
