POV Point of View

First-Person Point of View: A first-person point of view means that one of the characters is telling the story. First-person pronouns such as I, me, and my are used in narration. *Advantage: The thoughts and feelings of the character telling the story can clearly be seen. *Disadvantage: Since the story is told through one person’s eyes, it is difficult to know the feelings and emotions of other characters, unless they are stated in dialogue.

Example One: My head started to swim as I thought of the possibility that my friend might be the thief. “Why would you do it?” I asked, my voice cracking. Example Two: As I was walking down the street, I stopped dead in my tracks. There in front of me was a twenty-dollar bill lying on the ground. I looked around to see if I could spot the person who had dropped the bill. No one was around. I bent and picked-up the bill. “What should I do?” I said aloud.

Third-Person Point of View: Story is told by an outside observer or character who is not involved in the story. Third-person pronouns such as him, he, she, and her are used in narration. First-person pronouns are only used in direct quotations. *Advantage – The writer can include different viewpoints and often seems to know everything about the characters, setting, and plot. *Disadvantage – Your narrator cannot be one of the characters.

Example One: The doctor’s head started to swim as he thought of the possibility that his friend might be the thief. “Why would you do it?” he asked, his voice cracking. Example Two: As Jim was walking down the street, he stopped dead in his tracks. There in front of him was a twenty-dollar bill lying on the ground. Jim looked around to see if he could spot the person who had dropped the bill. No one was around. He bent and picked-up the bill. “What should I do,” he said aloud.

Definition: A method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, as opposed to third person limited, which adheres closely to one character's perspective. Examples: In Anna Karenina, which is written in the third person omniscient, the story is told by an all-knowing narrator, allowing us to see the world through the eyes of many characters, not just Anna's.

Note Third person omniscient uses pronouns such as he, she, it, or the name of the character. The narrator is an outsider looking in Who does not participate in the action of the story. The narrator knows all, sees all, and reports all. They know the thoughts and emotions of the characters. Third person limited is the same as omniscient except the narrator only knows the thoughts and emotions of one, sometimes two, characters. The narrator is limited, hence the name.
