Presentation transcript:

Point of view/perspective 2 + There are four primary types in literature: First person 2nd person Third person limited Third person omniscient

First Person Point of View 2 + First Person Point of View In first person the narrator is part of the story. They recount events from their perspective and observation point. They use “I” and “me.”

2 + Second person Occasionally an author will employ second person point of view. However, this is a rarity. In these cases, “you” is used as the narrator literally speaks to the reader. An example of second-person would be a Choose Your Own Adventure story.

Third Person Omniscient Title Third Person Omniscient Third Person Limited In third person limited point of view the narrator is NOT part of the story. They use pronouns such as “they” and “he” and “she.” They CAN only see inside the thoughts and attitudes of ONE or a LIMITED number of characters. In third person omniscient point of view, the narrator is NOT a part of the story. They use pronouns such as “he,” “she,” and “they.” They CAN see inside the thoughts and attitudes of ALL characters because they are “all-knowing.”

We went out to the Cafe Napolitain to have an aperitif and watch the evening crowd on the Boulevard" (Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises). Practice 2: "Decide that you like college life. In your dorm you meet many nice people. Some are smarter than you. And some, you notice, are dumber than you. You will continue, unfortunately, to view the world in exactly these terms for the rest of your life" (Moore, “How to Become a Writer”). Practice 4: Samuel met Madeline on New Year's Eve in 2002.
