Narration and Point of View
The story “the weekly visit” is narrated by a third person, the third person is narrating the story in a sense that the reader gets told everything, such as feelings. The reason why it's a third person and not a first person narrator is because the reader gets told feelings and inner qualities that otherwise would not be told.
The story is being told from the perspective of the son Jake (Joaquim), and the reason is that you hear from his perspective before he arrives at the mother’s house and after he leaves the mothers house.
