Question

Read the following sentence from “To Build a Fire.” What point of view is expressed?
He spoke to the dog, calling it to him; but in his voice was a strange note of fear that frightened the animal, who had never known the man to speak in such way before.

third-person limited

first person

third-person omniscient

Answer 1

The point of view that is expressed is third-person omniscient, since in this POV, all views of characters can be seen. In third-person limited, only the view of one character is seen, and in first person, it is narrated by "I" or "me." Here we see the point of view of the man and the dog, making it third-person omniscient.
