Narrative Perspective (Point of View)

How do we determine the point of view?

First: LOOK AT THE PRONOUNS First-Person I, me, my, mine, we, us, ours, Second-Person you, your Third-Person he, she, her, they, them (also character's names)

FIRST PERSON The narrator is one of the characters. Example: Today was the worst day of my life. I had failed my driver’s license test.

SECOND PERSON We see 2nd person point of view mostly in instructions. Example: Tie your string on the kite. You can begin flying the kite as soon as you get outside.

THIRD PERSON The narrator is not one of the characters. The narrator is like a reporter telling the readers what happened. Example: She couldn’t believe her eyes. Her father had bought her a brand new sports car. He always knew that she wanted this car. To celebrate, they went out to dinner.

if the narrative is 3RD PERSON POINT OF VIEW, decide which kind OBJECTIVE: The narrator does not reveal any feelings of any characters. LIMITED: The narrator reveals only the feelings of ONE character. OMNISCIENT: The narrator reveals the feelings of TWO OR MORE characters.
