Ohio 7th Grade English Language Arts (ELA) OST Practice Test

Understanding who tells the story helps you identify the point of view. When the narrator is a character inside the tale, the narration comes from a first-person perspective, using I, my, and me, and you see events through that character’s own thoughts and experiences. That’s why this statement points to a first-person point of view. If the narrator were outside the action, describing things from another vantage and potentially knowing what many characters think, you’d be looking at third-person omniscient. Mood is about the atmosphere, and plot is the sequence of events, not who is telling the story. So the best choice is first-person point of view.
