Point of View Day 2 18 April 2012

Nonparticipant Point of View Third person – Third person pronouns: he, him, she, her, they, them Three types of third person – Third person omniscient – Third person limited omniscient – Dramatic (objective) narrator

Third Person Omniscient All-knowing narrator who can see into the minds of all the characters – Can move through time and space in order to reveal any information that the reader needs – Knows everything, sees everything

Third person Limited (Selective) Omniscient The narrator limits his/her omniscience to the experience and perception of a single character or a few characters Knows everything that one characters or a few characters know

Dramatic (objective) narrator The unseen narrator does not enter anyone’s mind: rather, he/she records what is seen and heard A hidden video camera Narrator never talks about a character’s emotions or thoughts, only talks about action and observations

Second Person Point of View Uses second person pronouns- you, your, yourself Uncommon because it pulls the reader into the story, and unless done skillfully, it can be awkward Usually the reader is an uncomfortable participant in the story because the story is outside their life

Why Do Author’s Use Nonparticipant Point of View? 1.Third person omniscient describes what characters are feeling, thinking, and doing- it is straightforward and upfront type of story 2.The third-person omniscient narrator is all knowing and can give both the “big picture” (the world) and the “small picture” (characters’ lives) 3.Third person omniscient can explain to the reader the importance or significance of a situation or event

Why Do Author’s Use Nonparticipant Point of View? Continued 4.Third person omniscient gives the author flexibility since the narrator is all knowing 5.Third person limited can also be effective- the character narrating maintains certain “space” 6.Third person limited omniscient is more like real life- the narrator is a teller of the story and knows some but not all

Why Do Author’s Use Nonparticipant Point of View? Continued Dramatic (objective) point of view is revealed through the readers’ inferences- the author does not attempt to comment on or interpret the characters’ actions, thoughts, or feeling
