  1. Thursday, September 6, 2012 Bell Ringer- Complete numbers 11-13 on your bell ringer paper. Bell Ringer work will be taken up this Friday.

  2. First Person • Story is told from a main character’s point of view. • Uses “I, me, we, my, our” • Benefits: • Readers see the events from the perspective of an important character • Readers often understand the character better • Detriments: • Reader only sees one perspective

  3. First Person Example • If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. J.D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye

  4. First Person • True-nervous- very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? Edgar Allen Poe- The Tell-Tale Heart

  5. Second Person • Uses “you, yours, your, yourself” • Usually presents commands • Often the narrator is speaking to him/herself

  6. Second Person Example • Wash the white clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday and put them on the clothesline to dry; don’t walk in the bare head in the hot sun; … Jamaica Kincaid- Girl

  7. Third Person • Omniscient- all knowing…the narrator can see into the minds of all characters. • May be a narrator outside the story. • Advantages-very neutural • Limited Omniscient- narrator can see into one character’s mind

  8. Omniscient Example • It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness… Charles Dickens– A Tale of Two Cities

  9. Limited Omniscient • Narrator can see into one character’s mind • All characters have thought privacy except one • Gives the impression that we are very close to the mind of that one character, though viewing it from a distance.

  10. Small Groups: We will continue to do small group rotations. • You will be getting into small groups. Each group will have a different task. • Group 1 • Finish the Sir Launcelot and King Arthur essay. If you are finished highlight your claims in blue, evidence in yellow and commentary in green. Have a partner check. Essay is due Monday. • Group 2 • Reading of chapter 2-4 in A Long Way Gone • Group 3 • Tone Activity- this activity will include instruction lead by me • You are responsible for completing the work at each group station!
