Omniscient POV

An omniscient point of view is when we know what all the characters are doing and we can know what they are thinking about. In Through The Tunnel, it is written in an omniscient point of view because we know what Jerry the protagonist, the main character, and the main character's mother, Jerry's mother's thought. The first confllict we encountered was an internal conflict because Jerry is facing hagauii, which is the Japanese term for wanting to do something but he can't becasue he's not suppose to. Jerry face the conflict of wanting to go to the dangerous part of the beach because he crave adventure and wantas to grow up. Another side of the thought is tyhe sense of guilt he had for his mother because he doesn't want to make the mother feel all alone and helplessly aging and dying on the beach. Jerry still feels like he should go to the dangerous part of the beech because he decided that his mother can survive on her own without his protection. If it is not an omniscient point of view, we wouldn't know how the mother feel in this situation. The mother in this situation feels like he should let go because Jerry grew up and if she doesn't let her go Jerry would either rebel or he will leave, which are both bad for a parent. If we didn't know the part of Jerry's conflict and only the mother, we would think it is logical and sensible to keep Jerry safe because we don't know that Jerry is striving much for adventure and we shouldn't stop him because it will damage his childhood and he will grow up with mental disorder.
