Question
the girl stopped and looked as if she might pull back in surprise, but instead stood regarding montag with eyes so dark and shining that he felt he had said something quite wonderful. but he knew his mouth had only moved to say hello. “do you mind if i ask? how long’ve you worked at being a fireman?” the girl asked. “since i was twenty, ten years ago,” said montag. they walked farther and the girl said, “is it true that long ago firemen put fires out instead of going to start them?” “no,” montag replied, “houses have always been fireproof, take my word for it,” but the girl knew this was not true. fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury
The passage uses "he" and "they" pronouns, indicating a third - person perspective. The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of only some characters (e.g., Montag's internal reaction to the girl's eyes), which is characteristic of third - person limited. In third - person omniscient, the narrator would know all characters' thoughts. First - person uses "I", and second - person uses "you", which are not present here.
