Explanation:

The given excerpt from Chapter I of the book shows Angelou recounting her childhood story of how she and her brother were travelling in a train without any family escort. Their name-tags hanging for whatever issues that may arise, she describes how she had managed to survive. The narrative point of view is that of the adult narrator, using the "I" showing the event/ scene from an adult's perspective.
