POINT OF VIEW

D.POINT OF VIEW
1. What point of view does the author use? Is the story told from a first-person perspective, in which the narrator is one the characters in the story, and refers to himself of 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 in this story uses first-person perspective.
2. What are the advantages of the chosen point of view? Does it furnish any clues as to the purpose of the story?
The advantages of the chosen point of view is that the reader understand the feelings of the author clearly, and I believe it furnish some clues to purpose of the story too.
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 to me is reliable. He has the limited knowledge to understand how each characters are. The narrator know about everything of mainly only one character.
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 uses the point of view primarily to reveal, and he doesn't unfairly withhold important information known to the focal character.
