Point of View

First person point of view Story is being told by one of the characters in the story. Uses the word “I” to describe the protagonist. In nonfiction, this is an autobiography Example: “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

Second Person Story is being told about you – the reader. Uses the word “you” to describe the action of the protagonist. Example: “You’ve been having a lot of fun being an exchange student in Australia for the past year. Now it’s almost time to go home, and you and some of the other kids from your school are on your last scuba diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef” – Dinosaur Island by Edward Packard.

Second Person Reread the beginning of The Outsiders, but imagine that it were in second person point of view. When ___ stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, ___had only two things on ___ mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

Second Person Reread the beginning of The Outsiders, but imagine that it were in second person point of view. When you stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, you had only two things on your mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

Third Person - Limited Speaker is telling us about other people. Uses words like “He” or “She”, or the character’s name to describe the protagonist. The narrator only knows about the protagonist. We only see what the protagonist sees. Example: “Tally wanted to, but she snorted and spat into the fire. Shay wasn’t going to make her feel weak this way.” Specials by Scott Westerfield.

Third Person Reread the beginning of The Outsiders, but imagine that it were in third person point of view. When ___ stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, ___had only two things on ___ mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

Third Person Reread the beginning of The Outsiders, but imagine that it were in third person point of view. When Ponyboy stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, he had only two things on his mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”

Third Person Omniscient Omniscient means “all-knowing” Similar to third person limited, but an omniscient narrator can tell us about multiple characters in the story. Example: “In the village the next morning, criers ran through the streets calling the people of sparks. They told them to bring blankets, towels, rags, and any other clothes they needed.” The People of Sparks by Jean Duprau (Notice that the protagonist isn’t included in this passage)
