Point of view?

What is Point of View?

Narrative perspective

Not the author

Not to confuse with DIALOGUE = when characters speak ("Help," she said)

DIALOGUE always has quotation marks

Point of view 

Is about the narrator 

First-person (1st)	I, me, my, mine, we, us, ours
Second-person (2nd)	you, your
Third-person (3rd)	he, she, her, they, them (also: character's names)

Point of view: Examples

Is about the narrator 

First-person (1st)	I am in the room
Second-person (2nd)	You come in the room
Third-person (3rd)	Then he or she came in the room

First-person

Narrator is part of the story (character)

Often uses I or we

Example: 

I went home. Tim came over. I couldn't play.

Third-person

Narrator usually isn't involved.

Tells other's stories.

Lots of "he", "she" & character names

There are THREE types of third-person narration...

Does the narrator tell the thoughts and feelings of all characters???

Third-person omniscient

Narrator = all-knowing (omni = all / scient = knowing)

Narrator tells thoughts and feelings and actions of more than 1 character

EXAMPLE: Tim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay knew Tim would be mad, but she wanted to live her life.

Third-person limited

Narrator = limited to one character

Narrator tells thoughts and feelings and actions of one character

EXAMPLE: Tim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay just left without saying anything. She left a note and then left him.

Third-person objective

Narrator = doesn't reveal any thoughts or feelings of characters

Narrator tells only he dialogue and actions

EXAMPLE: Tim slammed the door. He walked upstairs and read a note from Shay. He kicked her trash can and started crying. 

(so here; we don't know what he thinks or why he is crying)

When I was four months old, my
mother died suddenly and my father was
left to look after me all by himself… I had
no brothers or sisters. So through
boyhood, from the age of four months
onward, there was just us two, my father
and me. We lived in an old gypsy caravan
behind a filling station”

The previous night, make your plans for
the next day and write them down… If you
attend an exclusive Samurai’s party and feel
timid, you cannot do your part in making it a
successful party. You had first better
prepare by convincing yourself that you will
have a grand time. And you should feel
grateful for the invitation.

The sun was rising. Ivan saw the light piercing through the drawn curtains in his bedroom and knew that he would have to get up soon. He hadn't been sleeping for the last hour. He had been thinking about the future. He nudged his wife Nadia. Nadia came to slowly. She smiled, still thinking about the pleasant dream that she had been having, until she looked at Ivan's face. She could tell that something was wrong.
