Question 7 • Expository Reading and Writing - ELA3013 A
Read the passage from Armand’s personal narrative about his experiences in a school talent show."I am happy to announce our next act, a song by Armand Krishnan," Mrs. Miller said cheerfully. Of course, no one felt cheerful over the next few seconds. The auditorium speakers erupted in a high-pitched squeal that made everyone wince.What should Armand do to more clearly establish the narrative’s point of view?
Answer
A
use details to better describe what Mrs. Miller is thinking and feeling
B
create a more lengthy dialogue between Mrs. Miller and the audience
C
include his own thoughts and feelings by using the pronouns "I" and "me"
D
add in some of his brainstorming notes with detailed ideas for the story
Explanation
The narrative is about Armand’s personal experience, so its point of view should make clear that Armand is telling the story. He can do this by including his own thoughts and feelings and using first-person pronouns such as “I” and “me.” Describing Mrs. Miller’s thoughts would shift attention to what Armand may not know, rather than clarifying his own point of view.
