It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Elements of a Story: Point of View" from
15Worksheets.com, but the actual story or image content that goes with the worksheet isn't visible in your message. The worksheet provides instructions and definitions for the four main points of view in fiction:
1.
First person: Narrator is a character in the story (uses "I").
2.
Second person: Narrator addresses the reader as "you" (rare).
3.
Third person limited: Narrator tells the story from one character’s perspective, knowing only what that character knows.
4.
Third person omniscient: Narrator is not a character and knows everything about all characters.
The task asks students to:
- Read an assigned story (not included here),
- Determine the point of view,
- Explain how they know,
- Support their answer with
text evidence.

🔍 To Solve This Problem (Once You Have the Story):
Here’s how to approach it step-by-step:
#### Step 1: Identify the narrator
Look at who is telling the story:
- Does the narrator use
"I"? → First person.
- Is the narrator addressing
"you" directly? → Second person.
- Is the narrator
outside the story, using
"he," "she," "they", and focusing on just one character's thoughts? → Third person limited.
- Does the narrator know the thoughts and feelings of
all characters? → Third person omniscient.
#### Step 2: Find text evidence
Quote specific lines from the story that show:
- Use of pronouns ("I", "you", "he", "she", etc.)
- What the narrator knows (e.g., inner thoughts of multiple characters)
- Whether the narrator is involved in the action
#### Step 3: Write your answer
Use this structure:
> The story is told from a
[point of view] perspective. I know this because the narrator uses
[example of pronoun or detail], such as when it says, “*_______*.” This shows that the narrator is
[explain why—e.g., a character in the story, outside the story, aware of all characters’ thoughts].

✔ Example Answer (Hypothetical):
> The story is told from a
first-person point of view. I know this because the narrator uses the word "I" throughout the story, such as when it says, “I felt my heart race as I opened the door.” This shows that the narrator is a character in the story and shares only their own thoughts and experiences.

⚠️ Since the
story itself is missing, I can’t complete the actual answer. If you can provide the
text of the story or describe it, I’d be happy to help you identify the point of view and write a full response!
