Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage? When he had stood in the doorway with his soldier's clothes on his back, ... he had seen
two tears leaving their trails on his mother's scarred cheeks.
Still, she had disappointed him by saying nothing whatever about returning with his
shield or on it. He had privately primed himself for a beautiful scene. He had prepared
certain sentences which he thought could be used with touching effect. But her words
destroyed his plans.
