KEY IDEAS  Definition  First-Person Perspective  Second-Person Perspective  Third-Person Perspective

WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE  A specified or stated manner of consideration or appraisal; a standpoint  An opinion, attitude or judgment  The position of the narrator in relation to the story, as indicated by the narrator’s outlook from which the events are depicted and by the attitude toward the characters

WHAT IS FIRST-PERSON PERSPECTIVE?  Narrator uses “I, me, my, we, our” as descriptive pronouns  Story is told from a main character’s perspective  PRO to first person perspective: Readers often understand the main character better than other characters  CON to first person perspective: Readers often only see one perspective, that of the main character, who may be unreliable

WHAT IS SECOND-PERSON PERSPECTIVE?  Narrator uses “You, your, yours, yourself” as descriptive pronouns  This type of perspective is rare, and is usually in the form of the narrator talking to his/herself

WHAT IS THIRD-PERSON PERSPECTIVE?  There are three types of third-person perspectives:  Omniscient  All knowing: the narrator sees into the minds of all characters  Limited Omniscient  Narrator can see into only one character’s mind, but doesn’t use “I, we, etc.”  Gives the impression that we are very close to the main character’s mind, but not entirely inside; we don’t get to know ALL thoughts and details as they think  Objective  Narrator only describes and does– he/she doesn’t enter characters’ thoughts  Like a video camera, the narrator tells what characters do and say, not think
