Point of view RL6

The point of view in the Testing is first. The main characters name is Cia Vale and she talks about her own individual expiriences and thoughts throughout the Testing. She meets canidates and they form relationships, some better than others. But the reader can not see the other characters thoughts, nor their actions throughout the Testing,

 A great example of how the first person point of view is shown is found in the fourth section when the text reads "There was one time Tomas and I were seperated. And I know. The bracelet. The dried blood on Tomas's knife. The haunted look in his eyes. Will's words that Tomas is not who I think he is. The canidates that Will and Tomas met while I was gone. Now some unnamed male from Colorado Springs Colony. Zandri." (Pg. 307) Cia left Tomas alone and now she is supicious about him killing another girl from 5 Lakes Colony which would be devastating, but she knows there is a possibility of it.

This just shows how this is obviously first person and how Cia has no idea what Tomas has done because the reader only follows Cia. It makes the book interesting but it still makes the reader wonder, its a tough line but the author, Charbonneau, follows it nicely, making the point of view of the Testing, just one more great thing about it.
