Third Person Omniscient Third Person Limited
837 wordsBy: Point-of-view Cannery Row Point-of-View By: Ryan Walsh In Cannery Row, John Steinbeck used the third person omniscient point-of-view. He could have used the first person point-of-view, but it wouldnt have gotten his entire story across. He could have used third person limited, but then he wouldnt have been able to tell about everything that was going on in Cannery Row. It is my opinion that Mr. Steinbeck used the best point-of-view possible for this book. Cannery Row is a book about a row of...
