From whose point-of-view is Freak the Mighty told?Is it first person or third person and who is it?

Freak The Mighty is told from a first-person point of
view. The narrator's name is Maxwell Kane, an enormous boy with a learning disability.
The other main character is "Freak", also known as Kevin, who is extremely intelligent
but has a physical handicap. The two boys forge an unexpected friendship and find that
their abilities compliment each other.


You can identify
first person point of view when the narrator uses the word "I". Second person point of
view is rarely used and uses "you", as if they were telling you what you did. Third
person point of view uses third person pronouns such as he, she, or
they.


Examples:


First


"I
went to the store and bought a
watermelon."


Second


"You went
to the store and bought a
watermelon."


Third


"Alice and
Rodney went to the store and bought a watermelon."
