The purpose of the exposition is to "set the scene" for your readers. The exposition reveals the setting, some characters, the point of view, and even the problem/conflict. We studied six types of expositions. Which type of exposition is used in the example below:
"Gramps says that I cam a country girl at heart, and that is true. I have lived most of my thirteen years in Bybanks, Kentucky, which is not much more than a caboodle of houses roosting in a green spot alongside the Ohio River. Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings (no, that is not true - he did not bring the chestnut tree, the willow, the maple, the hayloft, or the swimming holw, which all belonged to me) and we drove three hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio."

"CRACK! BANG! Josef Landau shot straight up in his bed, his heart racing. That sound -- it was like someone had kicked the front door in. Or had he dreamed it? Josef listened, straining his ears in the dark. He wasn't used to the sounds of this new flat, the smaller one he and his family had been forced to move into. They couldn't afford their old place, not since the Nazis told Josef's father he wasn't allowed to practice law anymore because he was Jewish . . . Something in the darkness outside his room moved with a funt and a scuffle. Someone was in the house!"

"It all started with a phone call, deceptively simple and easy to ignore. The buzzing on Everett's nightstand, the glow of the display - too bright in the bedroom he kept so dark, with the light-blocking shades pulled to the sill and the tinted windows a second line of defense against the flare of the sun and the city. Seeing the name, hitting the mute, turning my phone facedown beside the clock. But then. Lying awake, wondering why my brother would call so early on a Sunday. If only I had gone back to sleep that morning."

"Mahmoud Bishara was invisible. And that's exactly how he wanted it. Being invisible was how he survived. He wasn't literally invisible. If you really looked at Mahmoud, got a glimpse under the hoodie he kept pulled down over his face, you would see a twelve-year-old boy with a long, strong nose, thick black eyebrows, and short cropped black hair. He was stocky, his shoulders wide and muscular despite the food shortages."

"This is the middle of my life. I think of it as a place, like the middle of a river, the middle of a bridge, halfway across, halfway over. I’m supposed to have accumulated things by now: possessions, responsibilities, achievements, experience and wisdom. I’m supposed to be a person of substance. But since coming back here I don’t feel weightier. I feel lighter, as if I’m shedding matter, losing molecules, calcium from my bones, cells from my blood…"

Which point of view is used in the following excerpt from "The Night Circus"?
"The sun disappears completely beyond the horizon, and the remaining luminosity shifts from dusk to twilight. The people around you are growing restless from waiting, a sea of shuffling feet, murmuring about abandoning the endeavor in search of someplace warmer to pass the evening. You yourself are debating departing when it happens."

Which point of view is used in the following excerpt from "The Great Gatsby"?
"And so it happened that on a warm windy evening I drove over to East Egg to see two old friends whom I scarcely knew at all. Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run."
