+ Point of View Who is telling the story? POINT OF VIEW: The vantage point (perspective) from which the story is told, or from whose eyes are we, the reader seeing the story. First Person Point of View Third Person Limited Point of View Third Person Omniscient Point Of View Second Person Point of View

+ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW: Third Person Limited Point of View Third Person Omniscient Point Of View Second Person Point of View A very limited point of view. You are getting one side of the story. USES I, ME, OR MY

+ THIRD PERSON LIMITED POINT OF VIEW: 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. HE… SHE… LIMITED VIEW His wild laughter mocked the world and everyone he had ever known. It mocked the loneliness. It mocked every bully that had ever picked on him. Touching Spirit Bear THIRD PERSON LIMITED: The narrator has a very close relationship with one or two of the characters but not all. The narrator seems to have feelings about the character’s plight. The narrator attempts to develop empathy or sympathy for a character or limited characters by focusing on a specific character/s. The reader, through inference, can draw a conclusion as to how the narrator feels about a specific character or characters.

+ THIRD PERSON OMNISCIENT POINT OF VIEW: 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.” HE… SHE… THEY… Narrator knows ALL “Hansel walked ahead of Gretel; after all, he knew he belonged in the front because Gretel was just a girl. Gretel dropped breadcrumbs behind her as she went, knowing that her bumbling brother couldn’t be counted on to find his way home from the outhouse, let alone from the middle of the woods.Ahead of them, an old witch waited, her stomach rumbling at the thought of what a delicious dinner the two plump children would make.”

+ 2 nd PERSON POINT OF VIEW: 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. First Person Point of View You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go." (Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You’ll Go! Random House, 1990)
