Whose Point of View? #1 As the girl walked up the hill, she realized that the atmosphere was just too quiet. As the man saw her start up the hill, he moved quickly into the shelter of the huge old maple tree. If she saw him now, everything would be ruined. She thought she saw a shadow move high up on the slope, but when she looked again it was gone. The man thought if he could stay hidden until she came within range, she'd have to talk to him. The girl shuddered as she felt a silent threat pass over her. It felt like a cloud creeping over the sun. Third person omniscient narrator- knows both the man and the girl’s thoughts WHITEBOARD
