Question 8 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

What is a potential disadvantage of the third-person point of view in “The Lottery”?

Answer
A
The reader has limited information about what Tessie is thinking.
B
Mr. Summers a less-developed character when compared with others.
C
The story is weakened by the narrator’s many interruptions.
D
The rural setting lends itself better to a first-person narration.

Explanation

The story is told in third person, and the narrator mostly reports what the characters do and say rather than revealing their private thoughts. This can leave readers with limited information about what Tessie is thinking, making A the best answer. The narrator’s interruptions and the rural setting do not create the same point-of-view disadvantage.
