  1. POINT OF VIEW WHO IS TELLING THE STORY?

  2. POINT OF VIEW An automobile accident occurs. Two drivers are involved. Witnesses include four sidewalk spectators, a policeman, a man with a video camera who happened to be shooting the scene, and the pilot of a helicopter that was flying overhead. Here we have nine different points of view and, most likely, nine different descriptions of the accident.

  3. First person • Tells the story in the words of one of the characters • narrator==character • Personal pronouns that used by writers : I Me We Us

  4. Third person – limited • Narrator knows and conveys the thoughts of ONE of the characters, but IS NOT a character • narrator =/= character • Personal pronouns that used by writers : He/Him She/Her They/Them It

  5. Third person - omniscient • “all knowing” • Author gives the reader knowledge of what ALLof the characters are thinking WITHOUT BEING ONE of the characters. • Narrator=/=character • Personal pronouns that used by writers : He/Him She/Her They/Them It

  6. Do you remember Mary had a little lamb? Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,And waited patiently about till Mary did appear."Why does the lamb love Mary so?" the eager children cry;"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know" the teacher did reply.

  7. Your turn Pretend like you are one of the following characters: Mary The Lamb The Teacher Mary’s friend School Principal Mary’s Mother • Now write a letter to a person of your choice telling what happened that fateful day…
