The narrator is telling his/her own story.

The narrator uses the 1st person pronouns in the narration.

is speaking directly to the reader.

The narrator uses the 2ND person pronouns in the narration

2nd person P.O.V. is most commonly found in letters, sermons or instructions.

When you encounter 2nd person point of view, You must ask “Why has the author done something so

unusual?”

THE ADVANTAGE OF THE 2ND PERSON P.O.V. is that it forces the reader to become directly involved in the story.

THE DISADVANTAGE OF THE 2ND PERSON P.O.V. is the feeling that the writer is preaching at the reader or the that the writer is assuming information about the reader that is incorrect.

IF THE PRONOUNS YOU, YOUR, YOURS, YOURSELF ARE USED IN THE NARRATION, THE LITERARY P.O.V IS 2ND PERSON P.O.V.

(and is not a character in the story)

Third Person p.o.v

• THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW:

THIRD PERSON OMNISCIENTTHIRD PERSON LIMITED

THIRD PERSON OBJECTIVE

3rd Person Omniscient• Omniscient = “All Knowing”.

• …the thoughts and feelings of more than one character are revealed to the reader

• The narrator knows ALL there is to know, about more than one character and shares the information with the reader.

3rd Person Limited

• “limited” = knowledge is limited.

• ….the thoughts and feelings of only one character are revealed to the reader.

• The narrator is limited to knowing all about just one character and shares that with the reader.

3rd Person Objective

• Reader can only see and hear the actions of the characters and the dialogue that is spoken out loud.

• The narrator is similar to a camera and does not know anything that cannot be seen or heard.

• The narrator is unable to share the silent thoughts and feelings of characters with the reader.

3rd Person Objective

Reading something written in the third person objective is similar to what a camera can record. We can’t hear thoughts, we can only see and hear what is external.

3rd PersonObjective

1. From Missing May by Cynthia RylantThe day after May didn’t come to us, Ob didn’t get out of bed. He didn’t get me up either, and from a bad dream I woke with a start, knowing things were wrong, knowing that I had missed something vitally important. Among these, of course, was the school bus. It was Monday, and Ob should have called me out of bed at five-thirty, but he didn’t, and when I finally woke at seven o’clock, it was too late to set the day straight.

2. From “Pictures on a Rock” by Brent AshabrannerOne spring day a few years before the Rough Rock Demonstration School was opened, a five-year old Navajo boy named Fred Bia was watching the family sheep flock in the arid countryside near the little town. It was his daily chore to follow the sheep as they drifted over the red, rocky earth in their endless search for grass and leaves of semi-desert plants.

3 From I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya AngelouFor one whole semester the streetcars and I shimmied up and scooted down the sheer hills of San Francisco. I lost some of my need for the Black ghetto’s shielding-sponge quality, as I clanged and cleared my way down Market Street, with its honky-tonk homes from homeless sailors, past the quiet retreat of Golden Gate Park and along closed undwelled-in-looking dwellings of the Sunset District.

4 From The Olympic Games by Theodore KnightWhile still a teenager, Lee met and began to train with some of the best divers in the country, among them several former Olympians. One former champion – Farid Simaika the Egyptian 1928 silver medalist who had moved to this country—gave Lee a piece of advice that he took to heart. He told the young diver that he might encounter prejudice in competition because he was of Korean descent. Simaika told Lee he would simply have to work twice as hard as other athletes. “You’ve go to be so much better that they have to give you the medal,” Simaika said.

The Point of View is:

5. From The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. LewisHe himself was a very old man with shaggy white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once. But on the first evening when he came to meet them at the front door he was so odd-looking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it.
