Synthesized answer
The provided passages do not contain enough information to definitively state the central thesis of the text "Points of View" by James Moffett, Kenneth R. McElheny, and Ambrose Bierce.
The title and description indicate that the book is a collection of short stories organized by the narrative technique employed by the storytellers [Passage 1]. However, this organizational principle is a structural element and does not inherently reveal the overarching argument or central thesis the authors are presenting.
Therefore, while we know the book's subject matter and arrangement [Passage 1], the passages do not offer insight into the central thesis.
