11. Point of View
Point of view refers to who is telling the story. Recall when we discussed first person, second person and third person omniscient ( all knowing).
What point of view is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas written in ? Why is it written in that point of view? T

12. Homework POINT OF VIEW (POV):
a.) First Person POV - In a first-person narrative the story is told by a narrator who is also a character within the story, so that the narrator reveals the plot by referring to this viewpoint character as "I" (or, when plural, "we"). 
b.) Second Person POV - second-person narrative mode, in which the narrator refers to one of the characters as "you", therefore making the audience member feel as if he or she is a character within the story.
c.) Third Person POV - In the third-person narrative mode, each and every character is referred to by the narrator as "he", "she", "it", or "they", but never as "I" or "we" (first-person), or "you" (second-person).
ASSIGNMENT: 
1.) Read the notes and make sure you understand the different 'POINTS OF VIEW'.
2.)  Decide which point of view the author uses in the novel and explain why you chose it.  
2.) Give an example from the novel where the author uses the point of view that you chose

13. Point of view is from who's perspective the author writes the story
Point of view is from who's perspective the author writes the story. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is written in 3rd person limited, showing only Bruno's personal thoughts.
Example 1:The novel uses third point perspective. The author doesn't use I when referring to the main character. An example (on page 3) would be, 'Bruno ran downstairs and even passed her out on the staircase so that he was waiting in the dining room when she arrived.’
Example 2: is on pg.11 was when it said "when he first saw their new house Bruno`s eyes opened wide, his mouth made the shape of an O and his arms stretched out at his side once again." since it says he and Bruno.
