Presentation transcript:

Who’s telling the story?

 A narrator is, within any story (literary work, movie, play, verbal account, etc.), the entity that tells the story to the audience.

 The perspective from which events in a story are told. The most common types of points of view are:  First-person  Third-person Omniscient  Third-person Limited

 In the first-person point of view, one of the characters, using the personal pronoun I, is telling the story.  You become very familiar with this narrator but can know only what he or she observes.  All information about the story must come from this character. In some cases the information is incorrect.

Examples of First Person Point of View  Escaping the Giant Wave (Kyle)  The Hunger Games (Catniss)  The Twilight Series (Bella)  Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Greg)  Autobiographies are in 1 st person point of view.

 In the third person omniscient, or all-knowing, point of view the narrator knows everything about the characters and their problems.  This all-knowing narrator can tell about the characters’ past, present, and future.  This kind of narrator can even tell what the characters are thinking or what is happening in other places.  This narrator is not in the story. Instead, he or she stands above the action.

Examples of Omniscient Point of View  The Golden Compass  Lemony Snicket  R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy  Louis Sachar’s Holes  Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

 In the third-person limited point of view, the narrator focuses on the thoughts and feelings of only one character. From this point of view, you observe the action through the eyes and feelings of only one character in the story.  Uses the pronouns "he", "she", "it", and "they", but not "I”

Examples of Third Person Limited Point of View  In this view there is almost always the main character. Such as Harry Potter in Harry Potter series
