Point of View

1. What point of view does the story use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the characters in the story, and refers to himself or herself as "I"? Or is the story told from a third-person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story?

It wasn't the first-person perspective, because she wasn't the main character. It may be the third-person perspective because even though she participated, it was some kind of extras because the main character of the story was her mother.

2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?

The events can be explained to other people's view, not the first-person's view. It may explain the accident more detailed. It does furnish the clues as to the purpose of the story.

3. Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he/she have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?

The narrator was reliable. She's the daughter of the main character of the story. She had the limited knowledge or understand of the character and event because she wasn't there and experienced the event with her own eyes, but heard it from her mom, the one who was there and experienced the events.

4. Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he even unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?

The author used point of view primarily to reveal. She didn't unfairly withhold the important information know to the focal character. She somehow told everything she knows of.
