in "Salvation" by langston I am suppose to tell whether the point of is from a view of someone "going on thirteen" or from the point of view of a mature man? Give evidence to support your opinion.
i think it is a mature man, langston hughes himself because he used I in his story.
Am I correct?
Im still not understanding. So does that mean that the story was writen by a thirteen year old then? I am confused about the site.
Yes, you are correct. Based on the information you provided, it is likely that Langston Hughes is presenting his point of view as a mature man in "Salvation." The use of the first-person pronoun "I" suggests that he is telling the story based on his own personal experiences and observations. By using "I," Hughes indicates that he is speaking from his own perspective as an adult looking back on a significant event from his childhood.
To further support your opinion, you may want to consider examining the tone, language, and overall perspective in the story. Look for clues that indicate a level of reflection, maturity, and the ability to analyze and interpret the events that took place. Hughes' choice of words and the way he presents his thoughts and emotions can also provide insight into the age and perspective of the narrator.
