As you have read the stories, what about the ones written in third person makes them more difficult to read? it is harder to understand the language. the reader has to look closely at the beliefs of the characters. the reader has to keep very careful track of the characters. it is more difficult to understand the plot points.

Hmmm, i dont rlly know what your asking.  But third person is using he, she, they, they're, etc.  It makes if difficult because (to me) sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense and sometimes I have to keep looking back at who/what the characters are.

d. because santiago thought any sharks would assume the marlin was part of the boat

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.
