First Person Point of View
- "During these three years, the first spent in travel, the last two in Paris, Robert Cohn had two friends, Braddocks and myself. Braddocks was his literary friend. I was his tennis friend."
This lit term is just saying that a character in the story, Jake, is narrating. This quotation from the book proves that a character is telling the story. Jake is invloved with the other characters because he is friends with them. Throughout the book, Jake tells from mostly his own point of view about the story. He tells it as a first hand experience. An example of this would be on page 23 when Jake narrates: "She grinned and I saw why she made a point of not laughing." This shows Jake making observations and saying what he sees throughout the story. By having a character tell the story, the reader feels as if they are actually there and experiencing the story with them. I know that I felt this way while reading.
