1 Point of View What is it? The way an author allows you to “see” and “hear” what’s going on in a story

2 Point of View I’m gonna tell you MY story! First-person Character narrates the story Key Words I Me My We Our PROSCONS Know character’s thoughts and feelings Connect with character More “real” Limited to the character’s knowledge

3 Point of View I’m gonna tell you HIS story! 3rd-person limited Narrator is NOT in the story “Eye in the sky” that follows ONE character Key Words He She It They PROSCONS Know main character’s thoughts and feelings Connect with character Limited to events where character is present 3

4 Point of View I’m gonna tell you THEIR story! 3rd-person omniscient Narrator is NOT in the story “Eye in the sky” that follows MULTIPLE characters Key Words He She It They PROSCONS Know MULTIPLE character’s thoughts and feelings Know “secrets” Don’t connect as much with one character 3

5 Point of View Here’s what I observed… 3rd-person objective Narrator is NOT in the story “Eye in the sky” that reports what they observe but leaves out any feelings or thoughts. Key Words He She It They PROSCONS Reader forms own opinion from what the narrator witnesses Mystery inspires curiosity Don’t connect as much with characters 3

6 Point of View HEY! I’m talking to YOU! 2 nd person Narrator switches and talks directly to the reader Usually used for writing directions or giving advice Key Word YOU PROSCONS Reader feels like part of the story Compositional risk Switching can make it confusing for the reader Makes writing informal 2

7 Point of View Why? The author manipulates the information a reader knows through the use of point of view. Think about it.. I control what you know!
