Point of View for An American Childhood

Point of View Point of view is the perspective from which a narrative is told. Point of view affects the kinds of details that are revealed to the reader. First-person point of view: The narrator is a character who participates in the action of the story and tells the story using the words I and me. The narrator can reveal only his or her own observations, thoughts, and feelings.

Point of View Third-person point of view: The narrator is not a character in the story and uses third-person pronouns such as he, she, and they to refer to the characters. The narrator may know and reveal the observations, thoughts, and feelings of more than one person or character in the narrative.

Example Read this example from An American Childhood: It was a long time before he could speak. I had some difficulty at first recalling why we were there. My lips felt swollen; I couldn’t see out of the sides of my eyes; I kept coughing. You can see from the pronouns I, we, and my that the event is being told from the first- person point of view. The speaker is there— her lips are swollen; her eyes are clouded; she is coughing.

Example Read this example from Maze Runner: Thomas nodded, grumbling inside, sure that Alby was exaggerating. Hoping that he was. Either way, if he had any doubt about what he’d told Chuck the night before, it had now completely vanished. He wanted to be a Runner. How is this passage written in third- person point of view?

Million Dollar Question How might stories written in first- person point of view limit our understanding of all the characters and events?

Directions ANNIE’S POINT OF VIEW: As you read the excerpt from An American Childhood, record Annie’s first- person accounts in the first column. Her narrative will reveal important character traits and sequence of events.
