Modes of Third-Person Narration Telling the Story

Dialogue and Narration Dialogue: characters’ “voices” Narration: the narrator’s voice She said, “Hey, you!” We are interested in narration.

Third-Person Narration Narrator tells “his” or “her” story. Three Types of 3rd-Person: Limited Omniscient Objective

What’s the Difference? I feel sad. Character Narrator He felt sad. Are characters’ inner thoughts narrated? Does narrator reveal thoughts and feelings?

3rd-Person Limited Narrator reveals thoughts and feelings of one character. Chris liked Elma since the third-grade, but he had never found the nerve to tell her. But one sunny day, Chris said to Elma, “So… you want to go with me?” Emma blushed and said, “Ok” Chris smiled. Tells his internal thoughts Internal Narration is limited to Chris

3rd-Person Limited: One character’s thoughts. I like Elma. Ok. So, you want to go with me? Chris Elma 3rd-Person Limited: One character’s thoughts.

Omni = All Scient = Knowing 3rd-Person Omniscient Omni = All Scient = Knowing Omniscient narrators tell more than one character’s thoughts or feelings. Chris had liked Elma since the third-grade. Little did he know that Elma liked him too. They both admired one another from a far, and waited. One day, Chris said to Elma, “So… you want to go with me?” Emma felt her stomach sink. She couldn’t believe it. Blushing, she said, “Ok.” Chris smiled. Omniscient narrator is all-knowing.

3rd-Person Omniscient: Two or more characters’ thoughts. Oh, I like Chris. I like Elma. Ok. Elma Chris Want to go with me? 3rd-Person Omniscient: Two or more characters’ thoughts.

3rd-Person Objective Internal thoughts are not told. Readers may INFER thoughts and feelings based on actions or dialogue. Chris slowly walked up to Elma with his hands behind his back. “So… you want to go with me,” he said nervously. Elma blushed. “Ok.” Chris smiled. Characters’ internal thoughts not narrated.

3rd-Person Objective: No characters’ thoughts. So, you want to go with me? Ok. Chris Elma 3rd-Person Objective: No characters’ thoughts.

Telling the Difference Focus on the narration. Circle any narrated thoughts or feelings. Count each characters’ thoughts. Only THIRD-PERSON has these modes. There is no first or second-person objective, omniscient, or limited narration.

Signal Words Knew Felt Contemplated Thought Understood Believed Reflected

Practice Read each passage. Circle characters’ thoughts and feelings (as revealed by the narrator) Identify the narrator’s perspective (third-person objective, limited, etc.) Explain your answer

Example Mr. Morton knew the students were running out of time, but he felt that he needed to give an example of the activity, so he did. One of his students raised his hand. “Yes?” Mr. Morton asked. “I know I’m going to have problems with this,” said the student. The student went on, “I mean, what about when characters reveal their thoughts through dialogue? Does that count?” Mr. Morton replied, “Not toward determining the narrator’s point of view.”
