Question
which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
some feeling of courage or pride surely enters your soul, and the blood
flows faster in your veins, at the thought that you, too, are in sevastopol.
\your honor, youre steering straight into the constantine,\ says the old
seaman, who has turned to see where you are steering.
\all her cannons are still on board,\ says the boy, examining the ship as he
rows past her.
from leo tolstoy, sevastopol sketches
first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient
The passage uses "your" and "you" to directly address the reader or the character being spoken to, which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. In first - person point of view, the narrator uses "I" or "we"; in third - person limited, the narrator focuses on one character's thoughts and feelings; and in third - person omniscient, the narrator has full knowledge of all characters' thoughts and actions. Since the passage is addressing the reader/character as "you", it is second - person.
