Everyone has their own point of view, or a way of looking at things. in fiction, the narrator is the one who tells the story. there are two types of narrators, first person and third person.
in first person narrations, the narrator is usually the main character and uses i and me. the reader learns a great deal of information about the narrator by reading the narrator's thoughts and feelings. however, the narrator usually doesn't know any other character's thoughts/feelings, so the reader doesn't either.
in third person narrations, the narrator is not a main character and uses she , he , they, or it. the words i and my are only used in dialog. the reader only learns a little about the narrator, but learns much more about the other characters.
below is a passage from treasure island by robert louis stevension. it is a story about jim hawkins, a boy in the 1700s. jim has found part of a treasure map. he with some men from his town, have hired a ship to find the treasure. some of the sailors on the ship, like long john silver, may be dangerous.
the passage is a first person narration, from jim's point of view. rewrite the passage into a third person narration. be sure to use your own words.

"now, just after sundown, when all my work was over and i was on my way to my berth, it occurred to me that i should like an apple. i ran on deck. the watch was all forward looking out for the island. the man at the helm was watching the luff of the sail and whistling gently to himself, and that was the only sound except the swish of the sea against the bows and around the sides of the ship.
in i got bodily into the apple barrel, and found there was scarce an apple left; but, sitting down there in the dark, what with the sound of the water and the rocking movement with the ship, i had either fallen asleep or close to it, when a heavy man sat down with rather a clash close by. the barrel shook as he leaned his shoulders against it, and i was about to jump up when the man began to speak. it was silver's voice, and, before i had heard a dozen words, i would not have show myself for all the world, but lay there, trembling and listening, in the extreme fear and curiosity; for from these dozen words i understood that the lives of all honest men aboard depended upon me alone"

the answer should be

the simple past tense of strive.

hope this !

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.
