Excerpt from The Right Decision
Lindsay Rock
As the immense passenger ship embarked on the transatlantic journey, Timothy Birchall waved goodbye to his mother and sister. From his position at the rail, he could see their tear-stained faces watching him from the dock. For just a moment, he considered scrapping his plans and racing to comfort them. With the promise of starting a new life in America just two weeks away, however, he knew that he could not turn back.
Timothy's uncle had moved to America a few years earlier and had become a successful merchant. The last time he had written to Timothy's family, he had mailed a ticket for a passenger ship and a request for Timothy to come to America to assist him with his business. The letter assured Timothy that within six months he would have enough money to send for his mother and sister and provide a comfortable home for them. Timothy wavered at first, unsure whether to believe the grand promises in his uncle's letters and wary of leaving his mother and sister to fend for themselves. The thought of providing a higher quality of life for them, however, prompted him to pack his belongings and board the ship.
In this excerpt, the reader knows more about Timothy than his mother and his sister. However, if the author had chosen to focus on all three characters equally, the point of view of the passage would change and, therefore, possibly create a different level of suspense. What would the point of view be called if the author had focused his attention equally on the thoughts, actions, and feelings of all three of these characters?
A) first person point of view
B) second person point of view
C) third person limited point of view
D) third person omniscient point of view
