Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england. the purpose of fasting on wednesdays is specifically to encourage the eating of fish, to support the fishing industry. people therefore respond differently. some households uphold the old religious fasts during advent and lent, as if they are still observing the religious law; others ignore advent but observe the lenten fast. still others ignore wednesdays and just fast on fridays and saturdays. why does the author use third-person point of view in this excerpt? the author wants to present factual information effectively. the author wants to draw the reader deeper into the experience. the author wants to directly address the audience. the author wants to persuade the reader of his idea

After reading the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England, the correct answer to the question is the first option that says: “THE AUTHOR WANTS TO PRESENT FACTUAL INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY”. The Third-person point of view is often used to sound more objective about a topic and also the author wants the reader to have all his attention on the subject/topic that is being presented.

The Third-person point of view can be OMNISCIENT OR LIMITED. It is omniscient when the narrator know well the characters, it means that knows their feeling and thoughts. And on the other hand, we have the LIMITED type that is when the narrator focuses his story on only one character.

The author wants to present factual information effectively.  

This is the answer.

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
