Test tips – how to know the point of viewFirst PersonNarrator is a part of the story (in the story)Shares his thoughts and feelings with the readerYou only understand the story from his perspective so you cannot know what the other characters are thinking. If the narrator describes himself as “I”Keep in mind that the narrator is MORE CREDIBLE and you BUILD A RELATIONSHIP (INTIMACY) because you hear this person’s story. Third Person LimitedNarrator is NOT in the story (Third person is NEVER in the story)Shares the thoughts and feelings of ONLY ONE characterYou cannot understand what other characters are thinking because you only focus on the main character. If there are two or more characters
mentioned, ask yourself, “Do I know the thoughts of ALL characters or of only one of them?”
Once you answer the question above, make sure you can prove your answer with the story. (Students forget this part)
Third Person
Omniscient
Narrator is NOT in the story
May
express the thoughts and feelings of Many or ALL characters (God-like)
You are not limited here. You may know everything the narrator wants you to know.
If there are two or
more characters mentioned, check to see if you can identify ALL of their thoughts. If you only know ONE character’s thoughts, then it’s Limited, not Omniscient. Slide5
Subjective vs. Objective
Subjective
(the narrator tells you their
opinion about the character or situation)These narrators are commonly seen in first-person point of view where the main character expresses his beliefs and feelings towards other characters. Objective (No Opinions, just facts)You want this when you are researching for information or wanting to learn about history for example.Slide6
