Details in a Middle Schooler's Personal Narrative — Unit test

Question 4 • AISD ELAR 6 Summer Academy 2026

Which excerpt from "I'm Not Thirteen Yet" is the best example of a first-person point of view?

Answer

Then Lynette and these new girls began holding thirteen-year-old clubs after school.

“This afternoon is going to so much fun,” said Lynette.

With spring turning to summer, the rift between the twelve- and thirteen-year olds grew worse.

Three weeks later, I reluctantly boarded the bus with all the other Shenandoah-bound kids.

Explanation

First-person point of view uses words such as “I” to tell the story from a character’s perspective. Choice D says, “I reluctantly boarded the bus,” so the narrator is describing their own experience. The other excerpts describe events or dialogue without using a first-person narrator.
