Question

How does Hinton compensate for the limitations of a first-person narrator in The Outsiders?

A by stepping in periodically and interpreting what the narrator means
B by showing Ponyboy’s thoughts and having the characters discuss many things
C by showing the thoughts of all the characters in the novel
D by showing the thoughts of all the greaser characters but not the Socs

Answer 1

Because since it is not in first person there is no bias allowing the reader to create its own

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Hinton chose not to write in first-person, we don't have Ponyboy's bias in the narrative. Through Hinton, we know what Ponyboy is thinking, but it's kind of like looking at his thoughts through a glass wall instead of becoming Ponyboy in the story. If that makes any sense. I did my best to explain.

Hope this helped :)
