1. 2.3: Point of View 1 st Person : Story is told by one of the characters in the story. 3rd Person/Objective: Narrator is something outside of the story. Can not see/read thoughts or have previous knowledge about past/future. Like a movie camera, can only see and hear what is said and done. 3 rd Person Omniscient: Story is told by an “ outsider ” but they have the ability to see characters ’ thoughts, feelings, emotions. Can have knowledge about past, present, and future.

2. Less common POV 1 st person omniscient: a character within the story is telling the story, and the character has omniscient information. Lovely Bones. 3 rd Person Limited: (Less common) Story is told by an “ outsider ” but they have insight into one character’s thoughts, history, even knowledge about the future (Little did they know that just around the corner…). This is typically used when each chapter seems to focus on one particular character.
