I want to say it will be first-person. Third-person is an outside voice, someone that is not a character in the plot. It seems as if the narrator is talking about himself, which is why I deduce it to being a first-person point of view.
The narrator's point of view in the excerpt from the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck is first person.
Explanation:
There are various points of view an author can use when writing a story. The <u>first person point of view</u> uses the first person pronoun<em> I</em> -ocasionally, the first person plural <em>we </em>could be used- to tell the story, so the narrator is the one telling the story. This is the case of the excerpt from the novel East of Eden.
