Using an example from the text, explain why you chose this answer.
The narrative point of view in "The Book of Sand" by Jorge Luis Borges is First Person.
I chose this answer because throughout the story, the narrator consistently refers to himself using the pronouns "I" and "me." For example, in the opening lines of the story, the narrator states, "I live alone in a fourth-floor apartment on Belgrano Street." This shows that the story is being told from the perspective of a singular individual. As the narrative continues, the narrator maintains this first-person perspective, sharing personal experiences and thoughts, making it clear that the story is being relayed from their own point of view.
