point-of-view:

first-person-narrator

The story is told from the pint of view of the first

person narrator. We know it from sentences like...(I,me)

third-person-limited-narrator

The narrator can only see what Mr.X sees, not more.

He is not the Mr.X himself because he uses the third

person and keeps his distance to him. So it must be a

narrator outside the story who sees through the boys eyes.

third-person-observe-narrator

He is outside the story and does not look into the

mind of any person.

third-person-omniscient-narrator

The narrator is outside the story. he is informed about

everything. He knows what individual characters think

and feel and he adds his own view. So he is all knowing.
