Read the excerpt below from the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck and answer the question that follows. The Salinas Valley is in Northern California. It is a long narrow swale between two ranges of mountains, and the Salinas River winds and twists up the center until it falls at last into Monterey Bay. I remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers. I remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the summer—and what trees and seasons smelled like—how people looked and walked and smelled even. The memory of odors is very rich. Source: Steinbeck, John. East of Eden. New York: Penguin Group, 1952. Google Books. Web. 16 May 2011. What is the narrator's point of view? third-person omniscient third-person limited third-person objective first-person

I want to say it will be first-person. Third-person is an outside voice, someone that is not a character in the plot. It seems as if the narrator is talking about himself, which is why I deduce it to being a first-person point of view.
