Story: A Modern Love Letter

Part A
Why does the author use the first-person point of view in this story?
to limit reader access to the thoughts, feelings, and memories of all characters except Bella
to emphasize the importance of Abuela’s past
to contrast how Bella views the letters and how her mother views them
to build conflict between Bella, Abuela, and Bella’s mother

Part B
Which evidence from the story shows the impact of the first-person narrator as described in Part A?
Isabella doesn't know that Alejandro used to call her grandmother "Bella" until Abuela reveals it to her.
Bella receives an unexpected text message from Mateo by the end of the story.
Bella listens intently as Abuela discusses her past experiences with love letters.
Bella's mother threatens to call the police once she learns about the love letters.

I don't understand, explain more: Well, to explain, the author knew that putting more information into the story would help the reader to understand the deep thoughts between the persons as individuals, and if they were holding thoughts personally, then that's when conflicts slowly build, and build up. I hope that was covered well.

Where's the proof?: Well, know we would want to know how is this actually true. How does first person point of view build tension? Well, lets look at the following: "Bella listens intently as Abuela discusses her past experiences with love letters.".

As we stated above in part A, we see that when the truth comes out of the first person, and the other second person of that view does not know, and then knows, then, that's when tension rises.
