POINT OF VIEW NOTES

  • 1st PERSON NARRATOR
    • is a character in the story
    • only tells what that character can know or think

 

  • 3rd PERSON LIMITED NARRATOR
    • is outside the story looking in
    • is limited to what one character knows or thinks

 

  • 3rd PERSON OMNISCIENT NARRATOR
    • is outside the story looking in
    • tells what any character knows or thinks

 

omni = all everything

sci = knowledge

ent = "This word is a noun."

 

KEEP IN MIND

* What doesn’t the narrator know about?

* Do you trust the narrator’s judgment?

* What if the narrator isn’t telling the truth?
