Question

Which sentence from Fever 1793 reveals a first-person point of view?

"She stirred the fire and lay on more wood."
"She untied her apron and hung it from the hook."
"Eliza reached for her pretty straw hat."
"The man ignored us and pressed on steadily."

Answer 1

"The man ignored us and pressed on steadily."

Step-by-step explanation:

By narrating from a first person point of view, the reader can experience the story as if he was in the narrator's shoes. In this type of point of view, the narrator refers to him or herself, therefore "I", "me", "my", "mine", "we", or "us", is used. This is characteristic of autobiographies for example, where we know the narrator's feeelings and thoughts from first hand. The other characters' feelings or thoughts can only be interpreted by the narrator but not known completely.

In this case the narrator uses us, which means he is the one telling the story from his/her perspective.Step-by-step explanation:
