Point of View

1. What point of view does the story use? Is the story told form a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the characters in the story, and refers to himself or herself as "I"? Or is the story told from a third-person perspective, in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story?
The author told the story in a third-person perspective in which the narrator is not one of the characters in the story or may not participate in the events of the story.

2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?
The point of view allowed the author to change the situation and places simutaneously allowing us to see the things happening at the same time at different places.

3. Is the narrator reliable or unreliable? Does he/she have a limited knowledge or understanding of characters and events in the story? Does the narrator know almost everything about one character or every character, including inner thoughts?
The author is indeed very reliable and I think that he must have read the original story many times. He describest the story easily to understand and dramatically. He knows the inner thoughts and understand as if he really knew them.

4. Does the author use point of view primarily to reveal or conceal? Does he ever unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character?
The author used the point of view to reveal and doesn't unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character.
