  1. For each picture, write down what you think you are seeing.DO NOT TALK. 

  2. Who is the main character in these photos? The Statue of Liberty!

  3. Now we are going to make an analogy between photography and narration.Pretend:Photographer: NarratorPhotograph: Moment in the narrativePhotographic Subject: Main CharacterTake notes on each point of view.

  4. Ringlet of Hair

  5. Ringlet of Hair • Objective Point of View • When the writer tells what happens without stating more than can be inferred from the story’s action and dialogue • Narrator never discloses anything about what the characters think or feel, remaining a detached observer • Photographer/Author has chosen, in this case, to create in the viewer/reader a sense of mystery or a desire to know more

  6. Nose Detail

  7. Nose Detail • Third-Person Narration • Narrator does not participate in the action of the story as one of the characters, but lets us know exactly how the characters feel • **Third-person OMNISCIENT- knows what all characters think and feel • Third-person LIMITED- adheres closely to one person’s perspective • We learn about the characters through this outside voice • Photo shows a large, sculpted nose that has incurred some damage • Viewer/reader can infer that this detail is part of a much larger, though unseen, statue that is exposed to the elements and that is aging

  8. View from the Torch

  9. View from the Torch • First-Person Narrator • The statue itself • We are looking from the statue’s point of view • The narrator participates in the action of the story • What the narrator is recounting might not be the objective truth

  10. Detail of nose and lips showing strap-iron armature supporting copper skin

  11. Detail of nose and lips showing strap-iron armature supporting copper skin • Limited Omniscient Point of View • The narrator “knows” what’s “inside” one character, but is limited to that character only (either major or minor)

  12. Overall View of Liberty Island looking Northwest with Jersey City in background

  13. Overall View of Liberty Island looking Northwest with Jersey City in background • Omniscient Point of View • The narrator who knows everything about all the characters is all-knowing, or omniscient

  14. Ambrose Bierce: 10 FACTS • 1842-1914 • Raised in extreme poverty • Shaped by career as Union officer in the Civil War—private to lieutenant; very brave • Part of General Sherman’s march to the sea in 1864 • Said to be unsentimental with a pessimistic view of the world; very unhappy • Themes of cruelty and death seen in writing • After the war: journalist in San Francisco • “the wickedest man in San Francisco” • Published The Devil’s Dictionary in 1906 • In 1913- left for Mexico and never heard from again

  15. Turn to pg. 518

  16. Discussion • Was it possible to “see it coming?” • What point of view does the narration take for the final paragraph • Is this story realistic?
