Response:
First person perspective.
Clarification:
The first-person perspective presents the narrative from the narrator’s viewpoint using pronouns like "I" or "We," in contrast to a second or third person perspective which uses "you" or "They." The narrator stands as a bystander to the happenings, observing the events that unfold within the narrative. Consequently, "It's only fair" illustrates the first-person perspective by employing "I" or "We" as articulated through Avery's viewpoint.

Answer:
On the bottom of page 3, Lou's reasoning indicates that:
He sought to evade the extensive effort involved in land cultivation. This is why he proposed selling the land, similar to what their neighbors were doing.
Yet, Alexandra completely dismissed his argument, recognizing that true and fulfilling gains would come from diligently tending the land and hard work.
Explanation:
Willa Cather's "O Pioneers!" was published in 1913 to celebrate "the enduring power of the land and the harmful nature of envy." Thus, the novel narrates the journey of the Bergson family, who moved from Sweden to Nebraska, USA. Initially, their father acquired a large farm and began to cultivate it to support the family members: Alexandra, Oscar, Lou, Emily, and their mother. Upon his passing, Alexandra skillfully transformed the land into a thriving enterprise that sustained and prospered the family afterwards.
In The Metamorphosis, Kafka illustrates how genres can intersect, allowing fiction to take on a psychological dimension that may not be apparent at first glance. Although the narrative feels realistic in its character portrayals, it derives from the surreal occurrence of a man transforming into an insect. This metamorphosis is also allegorical, reflecting the broader themes of loneliness and alienation within the story.
I believe this order of responses is correct.
