First Person The narrator is actually a character in the story Narrator uses pronouns such as I, me, my, we, and us “When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim's warmth but finding only the rough canvas over the mattress.” –Katniss Everdeen

Third Person - Limited The narrator is outside the story, telling it from the perspective of only one character Uses pronouns such as he, she, they, and them “Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year.” –J.K. Rowling

Third Person – Omniscient The narrator is outside the story, telling it from the perspective of multiple characters. Knows the feelings and inner thoughts of all the characters in the story. “…Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of Summer.” –C.S. Lewis

Changing the POV How does changing the point of view affect the mood of the story? Is it still funny, serious, thoughtful, etc.?

PRACTICE 1 Goldilocks PASSAGE A: Goldilocks was a proud and defiant little girl who’d been told many times by her mother to stay out of the woods, but she paid little attention to others, especially her elders, giving lots of attention instead to herself and her own desires. One day, just to show that she could, she wandered deep into the center of the forest, farther from home than ever before. In a clearing she noticed a small cottage, smoke issuing from the chimney. She thought it was quite an ugly little cottage, but she also thought it might be a place where she could get a little something to eat and drink. The front door swung open when she touched it. “Hello,” she said. “Is anyone home?“ No one answered, but she stepped inside anyway. Immediately the smell of fresh-cooked porridge drew her toward the kitchen, where she saw three steaming bowls sitting on the counter.

Passage B Make your bed, she says. Read your lessons. Fold your clothes. Stay out of the woods. Blah blah blah. Ha! I'm in the woods now, dear mother, and going deeper. As if anything out here would dare to harm a girl like me. I've followed the weaving trail through the trees farther than ever before, and what can she do about it? I'm deep in the woods now, and there's a cottage in a clearing, a muddy-looking wooden thing so small I almost miss it. What a hovel! Who could stand to live there? I want to get inside and see. Besides, I'm thirsty, and a little bit hungry after the long walk, and these country folk do so love to share. They don't use locks out here, of course, and as soon as I touch the door it swings wide open for me. I say hello, but no one answers. Even if they catch me here, who would care? A proper little girl like me can't harm a thing. I step inside. They must have known I was coming, because someone’s made a tasty- smelling porridge. When I see the brown bowls steaming on the plain wooden counter, I feel so hungry I could eat all three.
