Point of View

1.       What point of view does the story use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the characters in the story and refers to himself as I? Or is the story told from a third person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story.

The story uses third person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story.

2.       What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?

I think that the advantage of using the third point of view we could see the story in another person point of view we know the good and bad deeds of the main character. If it was first person no such human will come and say they are bad so it gives clues more about the story!

3.       Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?

I think the narrator know the story well. He has a limited knowledge about the characters and events in the story, he kind of know everything and he explained the story well. He usually knows more about Gillian than other people.

4.       Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he ever unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?

Yes, he use point of view to tell the story and reveal the conflict and problem of the story, I think he did hold only one information that at the end of the story I still does not know about it, it is that the feeling of Hayden towards the main character it is still a misery for me.
