Point of View

1. What point of view does the story use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one of the character 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?
          This story is told from a third-person perspective and narrator is not one of the characters in the story and also 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?
           Yes, the author telling the events in the story and each events have a clue to the ending. For example when Milicent ask a man on the bus that what did he eat for his breakfast and he answer he ate  heather birds and heather birds mean she has to listen to herself, what she really want.          

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 narrator is reliable. She understand the character and also the event in the story because she can describe everything like the character's personality, what is this characters look like, the detail of each events in the story.

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?
            He use point of view to tell each events in the story that what is happening and what is the result of that events to tell the ending of the story.
