Question

Why does first person point of view limit the information a reader knows about other characters in the text?

A) If a story is told in a point of view such as first- or third-person limited, the reader has access to less information regarding thoughts and emotions of other characters.
B) The other characters do not have interesting stories to tell, so that is why Anne doesn’t include more details.
C) The Diary of a Young Girl is not written in first person point of view.
D) First person point of view does not limit what we know about other characters. It is the all-knowing point of view.

Answer 1

The answer is A.

The reason is because unlike 3rd person omniscient you can't access everyone elses thoughts. Only the main characters. Therefore limiting what you can know. Also all the other answers were so clearly wrong. It's guaranteed answer A.

Answer 2

A) If a story is told in a point of view such as first- or third-person limited, the reader has access to less information regarding thoughts and emotions of other characters.

In the text, we cannot learn about the reasons why the writer's mother did those things . The writer is upset ,but we cannot get into Margot or the mother's emotions.
