Can someone help? Struggling

First person

Explanation:
First person: the narrator is a character in the story/text (uses the words I, we, etc.)

Second person: the narrator is talking as if you’re the a character in the story/text (uses the word “you”)

Third person: the narrator is a spectator and comments on what happens in the story (uses the words they, he, she, etc.)

In the passage, we see that the narrator uses the word “I” to address themselves (“I said”, “I didn’t feel frightened”, “my arms”) implying that they are a character in the story. Therefore, the passage is written in first-person perspective.

I hope this helps! Please comment if you have any questions.
