The salinas valley is in northern california. it is a long narrow swale between two ranges of mountains, and the salinas river winds and twists up the center until it falls at last into monterey bay. i remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers. i remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the summer—and what trees and seasons smelled like—how people looked and walked and smelled even. the memory of odors is very rich. source: steinbeck, john. east of eden. new york: penguin group, 1952. google books. web. 16 may 2011. what is the narrator's point of view? third-person omniscient third-person limited third-person objective first-person

The narrator’s point of view of this passage is objective first-person. We can tell this because the writer uses the personal pronoun “I” to describe his feeling memories and emotions about the place he is describing. We also say that it’s an objective point of view because the writer is citing the source of information for the text, in this case, a website.  

The third-person omniscient point of view doesn’t use the personal pronoun “I” since the narrator describes all the characters using the third person. The omniscient point of view, as opposed to the limited third person, knows everything about all the characters in the story and provides the reader with the whole context.
