1. The story is narrated in the third person point of view. Aside from dialogue, the story does not use “I.” Instead, it uses his name, or refers to the character as “him” or “he.”

The point of view changes again in part two to third person omniscient neutral. The narrator knows quite a bit about each character, and knows certain things that the average observer would not be able to observe. For example, the narrator knows how Peyton was feeling towards the war, and knew why he had not fought in the war. He also knew that the soldier that stopped for the water was a soldier from the north.

This section expressed what Peyton was doing, and thinking, as he freed himself from the noose, and how he felt as he dodged the bullets being fired at him.
The final paragraph of the entire story, the point of view changes again, back to the third person objective. It simply states the facts of what actually happened, as how an outside observer would see it.
