1 Point-of-View Notes

2 First Person Point-of-View
*First person point of view uses "I" or "We." *First person is often used when the main character is telling the story or the narrator is stating an opinion or sharing a feeling. *Hint: The 1 in 1st person looks like the letter “I” and means that one person is telling the story.

3 Second Person Point-of-View
-Second person point of view uses the word "You." -Second person is a good choice when giving directions or anytime you're speaking directly to someone. For example, “how-to” books. -Second person is almost never used to tell a story. *Hint: Two=You

4 Third Person Point-of-View
-Third person point of view uses "He," "She," or "They." -Sometimes "it" is used when talking about a thing instead of a person. *Hint: Fly on the Wall

5 Third Person Limited Point-of-View
-In third person limited point of view, the narrator is a non-participant, but only knows the thoughts and feelings of a single character. -In other words, the narrator's knowledge of the situation is limited only to one character.

6 Third Person Omniscient Point-of-View
*In the omniscient point of view, the narrator is all-knowing and so can describe every character's thoughts and feelings *The narrator uses (he, she, it, they, etc.) *The narrator is able to move in time and place, to shift from character to character, and to reveal or conceal as little or as much as he or she pleases. *This type of narrator is "all knowing."

7 Subjective Point-of-View
* LOTS of opinion! * Examples: Letters to the editor, opinions, essays, persuasive letters, argument papers, advertisements.
