What is Point-of- view? It’s in the eye of the beholder

There are three types: 1. First-person 2. Second-person 3. Third-person

First-Person POV This is when the narrator is part of the story and is involved in the action. Example: I could tell from his blood-stained hands and torn jeans that this was going to be a night to remember.

Second-Person POV This is when the writer speaks directly to its audience by using “you”. Example: When driving a car, the first thing you want to do is fasten your seat belt then adjust your seat and mirrors to the correct positions.

Third-Person POV This is when the author writes from outside the story looking in and is not one of the characters. It is like taking a bird’s-eye view as you swoop down to see the action.

Third- Person Omniscient Example: There stood Erin, Michael and Terrone on the edge of the cliff looking down into the rough waters. Michael thoughts went to the night before last when Michelle’s car was last seen driving up the winding road that led to Briar’s Point.

Which pronouns help to determine POV? First PersonSecond PersonThird Person I, me, mine,my We (narrator is part of the “we”) you, yourThey, he and she Names of people: Sandra, Devon, Charlie, Marshall

Third-Person POV 1.Third-Person Limited 2.Third-Person Omniscient 3.Third-Person Objective

Third-Person Limited The author goes inside the mind and thoughts of one character. Limited = 1

Third-Person Omniscient The narrator is outside the story, yet he sees inside the minds and actions of all the characters. Omniscient = all-knowing Someone who is omnipresent is everywhere, having a “god-like” presence.

Third-Person Objective The narrator is still outside the story and remains without opinion or judgment. In other words, the writer states the facts and information such as in a newspaper article. “Just the facts, Jack.”
