TODAY’S OBJECTIVE SWBAT interpret the significance of point of view within “The Hunger Games.” • KEY POINTS • Point of view, the vantage point from which a story is told, can affect your understanding of characters and events. • POV is created by a writer’s choice of narrator, the voice that tells the story. • The three most common types of POV are first-person, third-person limited, and third-person omniscient.

WHAT DO YOU SEE? For each picture on the next few slides, write down a short description about what you see.

All you need on your desk is your Language A Notebook and something to write with. • Turn to the next clean page in your notebook. • Title it “Point of View” • Remember to date it, write the page number, and add it to your Table of Contents!

POINT OF VIEW Point of view answers the question, “Who is telling the story?” There are 3 main types of POV:

POINT OF VIEW I looked over at Michelle and she smiled at me. She didn’t seem nervous at all. I was so nervous I felt sick. First Person POV: The narrator is A main or minor character Uses “I” and “me” Shares personal feelings of other characters and events Doesn’t know thoughts/feelings of other characters

POINT OF VIEW Jack wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans. “Man up!” he thought to himself. He figured it was just first date jitters. 2. Third Person Limited POV: The narrator is • Not a character in the story but an outside observer • Zooms in on the thoughts/feelings of one character

POINT OF VIEW Jack swallowed and snuck another glance at Michelle. He smiled as confidently as he could. “I hope he can’t tell I’m nervous,” thought Michelle. 3. Third Person Omniscient POV: The narrator is Not a character in the story but an outside observer who is unbiased Is “all-knowing” – knows thoughts/feelings of all characters
