Which point of view has the narrator as a character in the story?

• A. Second person point of view
• B. First person point of view
• C. Third person point of view
• D. Omniscient narrator

Answer: (B)

In first-person narration the storyteller is actually a character in the story and tells what happens from their own perspective, using I, me, my. Because you’re inside that character’s head, you see the events, thoughts, and feelings through their eyes. That’s the key clue: the narrator participates in the story and narrates from a personal point of view.

In contrast, second person would address you, the reader, as the character, which isn’t about the narrator being a character within the story. Third person uses he, she, they and usually places the narrator outside the action. An omniscient narrator also stays outside the story but can know many characters’ thoughts and backgrounds, not acting as a single character in the events. So when the narrator is a character in the tale, the narration is first person.
