Poll

How comfortable are you with identifying what point of view a story is being told?

From my Point of View, I'm a pro!

I'm okay, but I could use a little review.

Umm...I may need a little memory jogger.

5

First Person Point of View

First Person Point of View is narrated by only one character at a time, who refers to themselves using words or phrases such as "I," "we," "me," or "us."

6

First Person Point of View

The narrator does not have access to the thoughts or feelings of the other characters.


How does that impact the reader?

1) Your understanding of characters and events are limited to what the narrator reveals about them.

2) You can't necessarily trust the narrator's interpretation of events.

3) The story seems real. Almost like the narrator is talking to you.

7

Second Person Point of View

Second POV is to address the reader. Second Person POV uses the pronouns "you," "your,"

yourself," and "yours."

8

Second Person Point of View

Examples of Second Person POV:


"Before you press 'submit,' make sure that your work is attached."


"Trust in yourself."

Third Person Point of View

Third Person POV is when the narrator is not in the story. They are merely a voice that is telling the story.


There are three types of Third Person: 1) Limited, 2) Omniscient, and 3) Objective.

Third Person Point of View

  • You are more likely to learn more about characters and events in Third Person POV than First Person POV.

  • You may not feel as connected to the characters because the story is told in a less personal way.

11

Third Person Limited

Third Person Limited POV is when the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character.


Example: "Ms. Allen wondered if the EIS scholars knew how awesome they truly are."

12

Third Person Omniscient

Third Person Omniscient POV is when the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters.


Example:

Ms. Taylor started off class saying that she had an announcement for everyone. This left all of the scholars in fear of a POP QUIZ!!


"All of my scholars have completed last night's assignment on time," thought Ms. Taylor. "I am so proud!"


As Ms. Taylor began to announce to the class about how awesome they are, everyone's fear turned to relief and joy.

13

Third Person Objective

Third Person Objective is when the narrator is not a part of the story. The narrator describes everything without the character's thoughts and feelings.


Example:


Ms. Key stated that she loves lemonade and that it is her favorite drink. Ms. Maupen brought Ms. Key a bottle of lemonade the next day.
