first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient

Explanation:

To determine the point of view, we analyze the passage. The use of "I said" and "My brother" indicates a narrator speaking from their own perspective, using first - person pronouns like "I" and "my". First - person point of view is when the narrator is a character in the story and tells it from their own experience, using "I", "me", "my" etc. Second - person uses "you", third - person limited shows only one character's thoughts, and third - person omniscient shows multiple characters' thoughts. Here, the narrator uses "I" and "my", so it's first - person.

Answer:

first person
