Point of View

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.

Ans: It is the third person perspective, which narrator is not in the story.  

 

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

Ans: The advantage of the third person is, we could know what is bad and good of the person. The author will make we see other point of view.

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?

Ans:The narrator know the story very well, especially Gillian. He have the limite of character and event in the story.

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

Ans: Yes, the author use point of view to reveal the conflict. The misery thing in the story is that when the woman get the 50,000 dollars, she didn't reply anything back. I want to know her feeling.
