Question

Why do you think the author chose to tell this story from the first person point of view and from the perspective of the traveler rather than the counterman?

Answer 1

The author chose to tell the story from the first-person point of view i.e. the traveler because he is the one narrating it.      

Explanation:

• Generally, there are four different kinds of narrative styles used in storytelling.

• The first, second, third, and third person's limited point of view are the main types.

• These are further elaborated based on the tone and structure of sentences used.

• Usually, the first-person point of view is quite reflective and personal.
