Question

read the excerpt from lizzie bright and the buckminster boy.

they stood together quietly, in the dark, in the growing cool of the night, and the sea breeze gave up on them and played in the dark leaves above, and the sound of the waves came in with the quiet. the stars popped in the night sky like distant firecrackers, and beyond them the great streak of the milky way came down out of heaven and draped a swathe into the ocean beyond. turner could almost feel the globe sliding under his feet. lizzie felt it, too and she reached out and took his hand for a moment-as if for balance-and then dropped it.

which is a result of the omniscient point of view in this excerpt?

• the reader can follow the thoughts and feelings of only lizzie.
• the reader can follow the thoughts and feelings of only turner.
• the reader can follow the thoughts and feelings of both lizzie and turner.
• the reader can follow the thoughts and feelings of neither lizzie nor turner.

Analyze the narrative perspective in the excerpt

The excerpt describes the internal sensations and feelings of multiple characters:

• "Turner could almost feel the globe sliding under his feet."
• "Lizzie felt it, too..."

Determine the effect of the omniscient point of view

An omniscient (all-knowing) narrator has access to the private thoughts, feelings, and internal states of more than one character. Because the narrator reveals what both Turner and Lizzie feel, the reader is able to follow the thoughts and feelings of both characters.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1: Incorrect. The narrator is not limited to Lizzie.
• Option 2: Incorrect. The narrator is not limited to Turner.
• Option 3: Correct. The narrator reveals the internal feelings of both Lizzie and Turner.
• Option 4: Incorrect. The narrator clearly reveals the feelings of both.
