first-person
First person point of view is when the narrator of the story is in the story himself. In this story there are very few instances where the reader sees the first person prounouns (I, me, my). Also misleading is that the story isn't really about the narrator which can lead one to think the story is written in third person. The first example of first person point of view is when the protagonist is introduced when the narrator says, "I hardly know whether it was the analogies or the differences that were uppermost in the mind of a young American,".
