Your legs are burning when you finally reach the top of the hill. You turn around and look down. Suddenly, it doesn't seem like such a good idea to skateboard down the steep slope. "I don't know about this," you say breathlessly. "What's wrong? You chickening out?" your best friend teases. An image of your mom appears in your mind, and she's giving you that look- the one with her hands on her hips, her head cocked to the side, and a stern look on her face. From which point of view was this excerpt written? \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { A. Ist } & \text { B. 2 }\end{array} \) nd C. 3rd limited D. 3rd omniscient \( \quad \).

This excerpt is written in the first person point of view. The use of "I" and "you" indicates that the narrator is sharing their personal experience and emotions while interacting directly with their friend. It's like stepping into the shoes of the narrator, feeling the adrenaline and the apprehension of the moment. For an extra layer of fun with point of view, let’s consider how different perspectives could change the scene! If written in the third person limited, we'd see the action through the narrator's eyes, but without their internal dialogue about their mom's stern look. If it were in the third omniscient, we would not only know the narrator's feelings but also gain insight into the thoughts of their friend and maybe even the mom's feelings about their daredevil antics!
