Describe the narrative point of view (first person, second person, third-person omniscient, or third -person limited) in this story. how does this point of view influence your understanding of the main character, ravi, and his development in the story?

The story begins with a third-person omniscient point of view. When the game of hide and seek begins, the narrator slides into Ravi’s mind and lets the reader know his unspoken thoughts.

Even though the story does not open with Ravi as the main character, his perception of the game and his desire to be the winner moves the story forward. The narrator slips into Ravi’s consciousness and lets us know of his deep desire to be a winner and not be bullied by Raghu. The narrator reveals what Ravi is thinking as he overcomes his fear of the dark in the shed. The reader understands that winning this game becomes an obsessive desire with Ravi because he feels it will give him an identity.

The blending of the two types of narration allows us to know the characters and the context in the story. It also shows how Ravi loses his sense of importance and learns a big lesson in the course of a childhood game.

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".
