12. Third Person Omniscient Omniscient = The narrator knows all. The narrator knows the thoughts, feelings, and actions of any character. They are also aware of what is going on in the world.

13. Third Person Objective The events of the story are told through a narrator who doesn’t know the thoughts of any character. “Facts” of the story as told by an observer. This is a “Camera View” as the reader is viewing the actions of the story but must infer the thoughts/meanings present. This is like watching a movie or play.
