Point of View
Nervously, I eyed Gwen, my competition in the election, and flashed her a gracious smile. Believe me- I wasn’t feeling very gracious. After Gwen finished her speech, I relaxed. What kind of campaign speech was that? I thought. There is no way I’ll lose now!Slide4

POV – It’s Your Turn…Slide12
POV Example:
As
the girl walked up the hill, she realized that the atmosphere was just too quiet
.
The
cardinal tipped his head back and drew breath to sing, but just as the first note passed his beak he heard the crack of a dead branch far below his perch high in the maple tree. Startled, he looked down, cocking his head to one side and watching with great interest while the man rattled the blades of grass as he tried to hide himself behind the tree.
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. Wouldn't she?
The girl shuddered as she felt a silent threat pass over her. It felt like a cloud creeping over the sun.Slide13
Third person OMNISCENT
Why?Slide14
POV Example:
As I walked up the hill, I realized that the atmosphere was just too quiet. There was no sound from the cardinal who was nearly always singing from the top of the maple tree. I thought I saw a shadow move high up on the slope, but when I looked again it was gone. Still, I shuddered as I felt a silent threat pass over me like a cloud over the sun.Slide15

POV Example:
As she walked up the hill, she realized that the atmosphere was just too quiet. There was no sound from the cardinal who she so often heard singing from the top of the maple tree. She thought she saw a shadow move high up on the slope, but when she looked again it was gone. Nevertheless, she shuddered as she felt a silent threat pass over her. It felt like a cloud creeping over the sun.

He
saw her start up the hill, and he moved quickly behind the shelter of the huge old maple tree. If she saw him now, everything would be ruined, but if he could stay hidden until she came within range--well, then she'd have to talk to him. Wouldn't she?Slide17

Third person LIMITED
Why?Slide20
POV Example:
The girl walked up the quiet hillside.
In the top of the maple tree, the cardinal tipped his head back and drew breath to sing. A dead branch cracked on the ground below the bird's perch.
The man stepped on the branch and rattled the blades of grass as he moved behind the tree. He watched the girl come up the hillside toward him.
Her gaze shifted quickly and warily from one shadowy area high on the slope to another, and she shuddered.Slide21
