Question

how might the story of george and lennie be different if told from a first-person perspective? (1 point) the reader would have a deeper insight into george’s internal struggles the reader would have a more limited understanding of the other characters and events the reader would gain a more objective view of the events the reader would feel more sympathy for lennie’s plight

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze the nature of first - person perspective. In a first - person narrative, the story is told from the viewpoint of one character (either George or Lennie). Since the narrator can only share their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences, the reader's understanding of other characters and events (which are not directly experienced or perceived by the first - person narrator) becomes limited.

• Option 1: While a first - person perspective from George would give insight into his struggles, the key characteristic of first - person is the limitation in understanding others, not just the depth of one character's insight.
• Option 3: First - person perspective is subjective as it is based on one character's view, so it cannot provide a more objective view of events.
• Option 4: Sympathy for Lennie's plight is not guaranteed to increase just because of the first - person perspective; it depends on how the story is told, and the main characteristic of first - person is the limited understanding of others.

Answer:

The reader would have a more limited understanding of the other characters and events
