A reader of the Awesomeville Times has noticed that the newspaper usually devotes about 10 percent of an article the average citizen's point of view. Fifteen percent of the coverage is devoted to the point of view of rich and famou
people. This reflects ___

I looked this question up. It turns out you mixed two different questions in one. Let's separate them and answer them individually:

I remember breakfasts with my grandfather—our morning toast was my favorite time of day. He would toast bread by placing it right on the center rack of the oven. Then, he would butter the bread on both sides and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the butter. Finally, he would cut the toast into perfect little squares. I can smell that sweet toast now!

What is the one disadvantage of writing this story in the first-person point of view?

1. Readers are not engaged.

2. We know the narrator's thoughts, but not the grandfather's thoughts.

3. We know that the Author will have his feelings hurt.

4. We know the grandfather's thoughts, but not the narrator's thoughts.

Ms. Woods has always liked poetry, and even though she was shy when she was younger, she loved acting out poems with different voices and sounds. When she was in third grade, she would act out the poems in her room in front of the mirror. She promised herself that when she became a teacher, her poetry class would be fun! And it is! Several students have already started performing, or slamming, their original poems in her class.

What is the purpose of using third person omniscient point of view in this exposition?

1. The author wants to teach students about poetry performances.

2. The author wants to persuade students to join the poetry slam team.

3. The author wants to entertain by using slam poetry images.

4. The author wants to give us information about the protagonist, Ms. Woods.

Explanation:

For the first question, the disadvantage of using a first-person perspective is that we only get to know the narrator's thoughts and feelings. This type of point of view limits readers knowledge, since we can only know what the narrator tells us, and the narrator can only tell us what he knows. See how the passage does not offer us an insight on the grandfather's feelings or thoughts at all.

As for the second question, the point of view used is in the third person. Omniscient means the narrator has access to all of the characters' thoughts and feelings, which means readers do too. For this reason, we get to know Ms. Woods more easily, so to speak. We are told how she feels about poetry, what she thought and desired while acting out the poems when she was younger and so on. We truly get an insight of who she is.
