By combining the 2nd-person with the 3rd-person point of view, the author makes sure his text is both informative and engaging. The reader feels addressed and drawn into the narrative more than it would be the case if only the 3rd-person point of view was used. Furthermore, the narrator talks about repercussions for committing different kinds of offenses, so he gets an even more dramatic effect by using the 2nd-person point of view.

The above passage is from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England by Ian Mortimer. The consequences that are listed for theft of livestock seem a lot more severe when the readers think that they might actually happen to them too.

By speaking to the reader as a separate person, the author captures their attention, who in different circumstances might not take the punishment of a crime as seriously.

The effect of the point of view in the above passage can be seen in more detail as described below:

•The author combines the second and third person point of view. It gives it a more dramatic effect and the people pay more attention to the words of the author.

•By doing so, the author wants to make certain that his words are both instructional, informative and engaging for the audience.

•The readers feel addressed by being referred to in such a way and their attention is captured which makes it more of a compelling read.

•The readers are, therefore, drawn into the narrative more than they would be if only the third person point of view was written, as it usually is.

•Likewise, the narrator also addresses the impacts for committing various different kinds of offenses which would make them more alert as to the resulting consequences, and they would, more cautiously, avoid doing the offences.

Therefore, the author gets an indeed more dramatic effect by the use of second person point of view in the above passage.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich suggests that ivan ilyich aspired to be part of the elite in society from a young age? a.ivan ilyich was le phenix de la famille as people said. he was neither as cold and formal as his elder brother nor as wild as the younger, but was a happy mean between them—an intelligent polished, lively and agreeable man.b. even when he was at the school of law he was just what he remained for the rest of his life: a capable, cheerful, good-natured, and sociable man, though strict in the fulfillment of what he considered to be his duty: and he considered his duty to be what was so considered by those in authority.c.neither as a boy nor as a man was he a toady, but from early youth was by nature attracted to people of high station as a fly is drawn to the light, assimilating their ways and views of life and establishing friendly relations with them.d.all the enthusiasms of childhood and youth passed without leaving much trace on him; he succumbed to sensuality, to vanity, and latterly among the highest classes to liberalism, but always within limits which his instinct unfailingly indicated to him as correct.e.at school he had done things which had formerly seemed to him very horrid and made him feel disgusted with himself when he did them;
