Question
which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
there is a brief silence - a lull - in the phone conversation but, already, three minutes of the abridged version of \the thieving magpie\ have passed and you make note of this.
\james franco, do you realize this is probably the longest red light i have ever sat through?\ you say.
\youre at a red light?\ james franco says.
\yes, i am at a red light.\
\okay.\
you stare at something on the windshield and then think about the milky way.

The narrative uses "you" throughout, which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. In first - person, "I" or "we" would be used. Third - person limited uses "he/she/they" and focuses on one character's thoughts. Third - person omniscient also uses "he/she/they" but knows all characters' thoughts. Here, the consistent use of "you" indicates second - person.
