  3. Points of View • First-Person: The narrator tells “I” or “my” story. Also, this may be “we” or “our” story.Ex: We went to the store. • Second-Person: The narrator tells “you” or “your” story, usually used for instructions.Ex: First, you should wash your hands. • Third-Person Objective: The narrator tells “his” or “her” story and does not reveal any character’s thoughts or feelings. Characters may reveal their feelings through actions or dialogue.Ex: He walked down the street. A man drove by and yelled, “Hey, watch where you’re going!” • Third-Person Limited: The narrator tells “his” or “her” story and reveals one character’s thoughts or feelings.Ex: Sad that his girlfriend had left him, Ben wasn’t paying attention as he walked down the street. A man drove by and yelled, “Hey, watch where you’re going!” • Third-Person Omniscient: The narrator tells “his” or “her” story and reveals more than one character’s thoughts or feelings.Ex: Sad that his girlfriend had left him, Ben wasn’t paying attention ashe walked down the street.

  4. IMAGERY/FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE • METAPHOR (M) • HYPERBOLE (H) • SIMILE (S) • PERSONIFICATION (P) • A comparison between two nouns which seem unrelated using ‘like’ or ‘as’ • Giving human qualities to a non-human. • A Comparison that shows how two nouns that are not alike in most ways are similar in one important way. It is a way to describe a noun without using the words ‘like’ and ‘as’. • An extreme exaggeration.

  5. OTHER LITERARY DEVICES: • Repetition • Vocabulary used • Onomatopoeia = words that by their sound reflect their meaning e.g. bang, ping • Alliteration = Repetition of the same consonant sound, usually at the beginning of each word e.g. Full fathom five they father lies • Assonance = the repetition of vowel sounds to achieve a particular effect e.g. Summer grows old, cold blooded mother • Symbolism = a symbol is simply a feature whereby a phrase or word represents something else e.g. white is used to represent peace.
