Read the following excerpt from part 5 of Zeitoun. It was a test, Zeitoun thinks. Who among us could deny that we were tested? B

ut now look at us, he says. Every person is stronger now. Every person who was forgotten by God or country is now louder, more defiant, and more determined. They existed before, and they exist again, in the city of New Orleans and the United States of America. And Abdulrahman Zeitoun existed before, and exists again, in the city of New Orleans and the United States of America. He can only have faith that will never again be forgotten, denied, called by a name other than his own. He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith? There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana. Which statement best describes the narrative voice of this excerpt? The voice is objective because the events of the story are told without feeling. The voice is objective because it is told from a third-person perspective. The voice is subjective because the narrator offers facts and details of his own experiences. The voice is subjective because the narrator is relating Zeitoun’s opinions and emotions.

Response: Option D - The voice is subjective due to the narrator conveying Zeitoun's feelings and thoughts.

Clarification:

Although a third-person narrative can be subjective, this appears to be a clear case of that. An objective narrator would focus solely on factual storytelling. In contrast, the narrator here shares not just events but also the emotions and thoughts of the character.

This excerpt blends the character's opinions with their dialogue, including shifts in pronouns from "we" to "he" without clear transitions, indicating a closer emotional connection between the narrator and the character.

"Zeitoun" is authored by Dave Eggers, depicting the true story of Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a Syrian-American wrongfully detained while aiding others after Hurricane Katrina hit.
