8. Point of View
1st person point of view- using pronouns I and me to show the narrator’s own perspective as a character in the story.

9. Point of View
In addition to 1st person point of view (which Tangerine is told in) there are:
3rd person limited point of view- unseen narrator knows thoughts and feelings of some but not all characters.
3rd person omniscient point of view- unseen narrator knows all thoughts and feelings of all characters.

10. Parts of Speech Noun- person, place, thing, idea, quality
Pronoun- replaces noun- he, she, it, they, etc.
Verb- action/state of being of noun
Adjective- describes the noun
Adverb- describes the verb
Conjunction- remember FANBOYS

11. Common/ Proper Nouns
A common noun is a general name for a person, place, thing or idea.
Example- theater
A proper noun is a name of a specific person, place, thing or idea.
Example- Palace Theater
Only proper nouns need to be capitalized, so a big clue is if the noun is capitalized.
