POV of "And of Clay we are Created"


I noticed that there was a lot of focus on point of view in the story And of Clay We are Created. There was a constant change in point of view between a man named Rolfe and his wife, who is watching Rolfe try to save a little girl who was half-buried in an avalanche.
When the story is focused on Rolfe, it switches to the third person view, where Rolfe is referred to as “he.” When the story is focused on the wife of Rolfe, it is in the first person perspective, with the use of the pronouns “I”, “me”, and “you”. At the end of the story, there even seems to be a second person paragraph, with uses of the pronoun "you".
