Point of View

Point-of-View (Also called, “Narrative Mode”) “The perspective with which the narrator sees the story.” First-Person: “Told by the main character, and the narrator refers to himself/herself as ‘I’. A first-person account is narrated by a character in the story. If you were writing an essay about your summer vacation, it might be in the first person. For example: "I spent a lot of time at the beach, but I also read a lot of books."

Point of View Second-Person: In second-person narrative, the narrator is not a character in the story--but "you" are. Instruction manuals are often written in the second person. For example: "Before you nail the two boards together, you should sand the sharp edges off.“ NEVER use this on an essay!!!!!!

Point-of-View (Also called, “Narrative Mode”) “The perspective with which the narrator sees the story.” Third-Person:  In a third-person narrative, the narrator exists completely outside of the story. All characters are described as "he," "she," or "it." Normal 3rd person narrators cannot describe the emotions and thoughts. Third-person omniscient: the narrator can describe the innermost thoughts and feelings of her characters. For example: "As Fred watched Ginger from across the room, he wondered whether the two of them would ever truly know each other
