RL.5.6. Describe how a narrator’s or speaker’s point of view influences how events are described. Author’s Point of View
There are five possible view points from which a text can be narrated • First‐Person: The narrator tells “I” or “my” story. Also, this may be “we” or “our” story. Ex: We went to the store. This is very common in writing. If the story uses I, me, my, mine, we, our, us and they are not in dialogue, the story is in first person • Second‐Person: The narrator tells “you” or “your” story, usually used for instructions. Ex: First, you should wash your hands. This is VERY rare in stories-usually limited to instructions and “choose your path” stories.
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!” This is uncommon in stories . • 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!” This is a very common storytelling view, especially when there is one main character. • 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 as he walked down the street. Tom was also having a bad day, and as he was driving by Ben, Tom tried to startle him: “Hey, watch where you’re going!” Tom yelled intimidatingly. This is storytelling view is most common when there is more than one main character.

Hansel walked ahead of Gretel; after all, he knew he belonged in the front because Gretel was just a girl. Gretel dropped breadcrumbs behind her as she went, knowing that her bumbling brother couldn’t be counted on to find his way home from the outhouse, let alone from the middle of the woods. Ahead of them, an old witch waited, her stomach rumbling at the thought of what a delicious dinner the two plump children would make. 1-First person 2-Second person 3-Third Person
