Open Ended

Read the excerpt from the story and identify which point of view is being used by the author. Explain how you know this by providing evidence from the text.

Ted Cole's children's books were of more intellectual and psychological (and even emotional) interest to Eddie than the novels were. A cautionary tale for children came naturally to Ted; he could imagine and express their fears—he could satisfy children. Had Thomas and Timothy lived into adulthood, they would doubtless have been disappointed in their father. And it was only as an adult that Ruth Cole would be disappointed in Ted; as a child, she loved him.

3

By using the first person point of view for all characters, allowing readers to hear each character's inner thoughts.

4

By writing the story in second person, addressing the reader directly to share different viewpoints.
