First person

Explanation:

The story "Charles" is told from the first-person view. In the excerpt, the reader can notice the pronouns "my", "I" and "me". It refers that a person is speaking using the first-person view. The reader can understand that a person from the story is telling about a specific moment in the past. This moment is very emotional for the speaker. He evokes the moment when his son started kindergarten. The writer chooses this point of view to get close the story to the reader. Laurie's first day of kindergarten is shown to throw his dad's memory. The first-person view is not objective but shows the intimate subjective point of view.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
