Points of View In the first-person point of view, the narrator is a character in the text. He or she is called I throughout the story. Example: I know that Annie likes to swim. In third-person limited point of view, someone outside the story is telling it. The narrator describes the emotions and actions of one character. Example: Sally wasn’t sure how her father would react to the news.

Points of View (Con’t) In the third-person omniscient point of view, the narrator describes the emotions and actions of all the characters in the text. Example: Chris was worrying about how they would find their way out. Rodrigo, however, was thinking about how they would describe their adventure when they got home.
