setting: a small coastal town with a foggy lighthouse

antagonist (main enemy of the protagonist): a secretive sailor who guards a hidden secret
point of view:?
conflict: kaelin tries to uncover the sailor’s secret about the lighthouse.
choose the correct answer.
which point of view should be used to make the reader feel as if the narrator is speaking directly to them?
third person (the sailor heard everything.)
first person (i crept up the staircase.)
second person (you explore the lighthouse.)

Explanation:

To determine the correct point of view, we analyze each option:

• Third - person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "they" or refers to characters by name (e.g., "the sailor"). It creates a sense of distance from the reader, as if the narrator is observing the story from outside. So it does not make the reader feel like the narrator is speaking directly to them.
• First - person point of view uses the pronoun "I" (or "we" in some cases). This point of view is from the perspective of a character within the story, sharing their own experiences. It is more about the narrator's own story rather than directly addressing the reader.
• Second - person point of view uses the pronoun "you". When a story is told in second - person, it directly addresses the reader, making them feel as if they are the one taking part in the actions of the story (e.g., "You explore the lighthouse"). This is the point of view that makes the reader feel as if the narrator is speaking directly to them.

Answer:

C. Second Person (You explore the lighthouse.)
