I don’t have a father, and I don’t have a mother either. Sometimes I felt so alone, like nobody cared whether I lived or died. I would sit by myself in the plaza, watching other kids my age go to school, wondering if I would ever have the chance to be like them. Whenever I watched my grandmother struggle, I wished I could do more to help her, but it felt like no matter how hard I worked, it would never be enough.

Read the following paragraph.

I've never been in any of the other towns, only San Pablo. Still, at night I like to go down by the lake and look at the lights of the fishing canoes on the black water, and the lights of the other towns glowing at us across the lake, and the thousands of stars in the sky. It seems like every light is saying, "You're not alone. We're here too."

The point of view is-

• 1st Person Perspective

• 2nd Person Perspective

• 3rd Person (someone outside the story)

• Mrs. Little's perspective
