Perspective or Point of View

As I grazed in the field, I realized that there were not any other animals around. I had a weird feeling that something was wrong. The other animals that are usually making noises are all silent. I see a shadow up in a tree. I think that is is unsafe here, so I am going to run away. From what point of view is the passage written?

• First person

• Second person

• Third person
