Since the prompt asks us to explore the shift of point of view in paragraph five, we should have two quotes. How would you choose the two quotes? Select TWO...

• One from Narcissus, since his obsession with himself is the focus of paragraph five

• One from the shift to 2nd person (you) point of view that gives Narcissus a warning about being too vain.

• one quote about Narcissus

• One quote about the river, since that is where he meets himself
