Question

read the excerpt from
hapsody on a windy night.\ i could see nothing behind that childs eye. i have seen eyes in the street trying to peer through lighted shutters, and a crab one afternoon in a pool, an old crab with barnacles on his back, gripped the end of a stick which i held him. the excerpt is an example of what type of narration? dramatic dialogue third - person, all knowing second person, limited stream of consciousness

Explanation:

Stream of consciousness narration presents thoughts and impressions as they flow in a character's mind. Here, the narrator's random musings (about the child's eye, street eyes, the crab) mimic the free - flowing nature of thoughts. Dramatic dialogue would have characters speaking to each other. Third - person all - knowing would describe events from an outside, all - seeing perspective. Second - person limited would use "you" and be restricted in scope. This excerpt does not fit those.

Answer:

stream of consciousness
