  1. Narrator’sPerspective Point of View

  2. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the story? Or, what is the narrator’s POINT OF VIEW.

  3. First-Person Narration The Story The narrator is involved in the story. Characters I or We the Narrator

  4. First-Person tells “me” or “my” story. Example Iwent to the store with my friend. The clerk said, “Hi.” Webought candy and left. Who is telling the story? In First-Person the narrator is “I” or “we.”

  5. Third-Person Narration The narrator is outside of the story. The Story Narrator Characters “He” “She” “They”

  6. Third-Person tells “his” or “her” story. Also will refer to characters by name Example Chris loved basketball. Everyday he played after school. When it got dark, he watched it on TV. From whose perspective is the story told? In Third-Person the perspective of “he” or “she” is narrated.

  7. 3rd-Person Limited Narrator reveals thoughts and feelings of one character. Chris liked Emma since the third-grade, but he had never found the nerve to tell her. But one sunny day, Chris said to Emma, “So… you want to go out with me?” Emma blushed and said, “Ok” Chris smiled. • Tells his internal thoughts • Internal Narration is limited to Chris

  8. 3rd-PersonLimited:One character’s thoughts. I like Emma. Ok. So, you want to go out with me? Chris Emma

  9. 3rd-Person Omniscient Omni = All Scient = Knowing Omniscient narrators tell more than one character’s thoughts or feelings. Chris had liked Emma since the third-grade. Little did he know that Emma liked him too. They both admired one another from a far, and waited. One day, Chris said to Emma, “So… you want to go out with me?” Emma felt butterflies in her stomach. She couldn’t believe it. Blushing, she said, “Ok.” Chris smiled. Omniscient narrator is all-knowing.

  10. Oh, I like Chris. 3rd-Person Omniscient:Two or more characters’ thoughts. I like Emma. Ok. Emma Chris Want to go out with me?

  11. Dialogue&Narration Dialogue = When characters speak. Narration = When the narrator speaks. I went home. My mom said, “Did you get out early?” I said, “No.” ONLY LOOK AT THE NARRATION, Or you’ll get confused.
