Learning Objective
I can differentiate between first-person, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient points of view, using examples from texts.
- 1
In first person point of view, the narrator is a character in the story and uses words like I, me, and my.
- 2
Second person point of view is rare and speaks directly to the reader using the pronoun you, often sounding like it's giving directions.
- 3
In third person point of view, the narrator is outside the story and uses words like he, she, and they to refer to characters.
