Third Person Point of view
which means our narrator sits outside the story and tells us what's going on. However, the narrator is limited, so they only give us Matt's perspective. It keeps us close to our main man—and helps engages us in the story

This guy is in it for one person only: himself. Most likely on the run because of some kind of no-good behavior in the nearest town, Ben takes advantage of Matt's kindness when he comes across the boy, eating Matt's food, inviting himself for the night, and talking Matt's ear off about his incredible adventures. And how does he cap his whole visit off? By stealing the poor kid's rifle. In other words, Ben comes, Ben consumes, and then Ben takes off with Matt's only means of survival. He doesn't even leave a thank you note. Ugh.
