First Person POV- Determine who the narrator is game

Using the excerpt here, whose or what perspective is this from? "Every animal, human or other, needs work that matters. I have more than one important responsibility. I'm an excellent lap-warmer, a fearless protector of my family, and a published author. You are reading my second book, and I must say that this part of my job doesn't get any easier. I wanted to write because I had heard that every computer has a mouse. Then I got interested in the story that my person, Peg, was working on, so I began to add my ideas to hers. We ended up writing a novel together and we had fun doing it. She hasn’t grown tired of writing, so why would I? Writing is challenging, fun, and satisfying—like catching a fly. I used to spend my nights batting at pens, randomly found objects, and balls, and trying to wake up my people. Now I write novels because novelists get to go to bookstores and put their paw prints in their books."

• Blanket's

• Peg's

• Book's

• Cat's

Answer explanation

The perspective in the excerpt is from the Cat's point of view, as mentioned in the text. Words and phrases such as "lap-warmer", "mouse", batting", "wake up my people", and "paw prints" all connect to things that a cat has physically, is interested in, or does in this context.

Determine who the first person point of view narrator is: "Let me tell you a little about me and my life so far. One, I get thrown all around, and since I live in a place where it snows a lot, nobody really ever sees me out and about. Two, most of those in my circle describe me as a skinny, size 5, with tan skin. Three, I really hate my job and working with feet and making your toes look pretty, but the good part is that when I do, those stinky things you humans call toes hardly touch me. I guess the biggest benefit about being me is that I often do get taken on destination vacations.

• shorts

• flip flops

• boots

• pedicurist

Answer explanation

Key phrases and words such as "thrown all over", "toes hardly touch me", " making your toes look", and "taken on destination vacations" all connect to flip flops because they are rarely worn anywhere cold and snowy, but once the warm weather hits, many people have their toes exposed and sometimes painted.

Determine the narrator of this excerpt. "My earliest memory was being somewhere dark. It seemed like I was there for eons, just laying there wondering when my time would come, wondering what lied in store for me. Most of the others I was with didn't want to be there either, but they were still nice and encouraging. Others were arrogant and snotty, probably because they had higher values than the rest of us. One day, a small hand came and scooped me up; my journey began. I travelled cross country in pockets, hands, dashboards, and rivers just to name a few."

• A coin from a piggy bank

• A baby puppy waiting to be born

• A seed in the ground waiting to bloom into a flower

• A mismatched sock in the laundry
