Point of view is a way of looking at things.

It’s having an opinion about something or someone.

Two people can have different

points

of view

about the same thing.Slide4

Comprehension Toolkit

Point of view

In writing, we use clues in the text to work out

what

the author or character’s point of view is.

The

forest loomed before me, a dark, forbidding place.

In Tom’s

point of

view

, is the forest

boring

,

happy

,

unwelcoming

or a

bright place

?

Which words tell the reader that Tom finds the

forest

unwelcoming?

These words have negative connotations and suggest there is something frightening about the forest.Slide5

Comprehension Toolkit

Point of view

In fiction, a story is told from the point

of

view

of

a first person narrator (

I

) or a

third person

narrator (

he

or

she

).

First person narration usually gives a greater sense

of

reality and involvement. The

I

who tells the story takes part in the action, even though he or she may

not

be a main character.

Third person narration usually creates more distance between the narrator and the story, although the

he

or

she

who tells the story might be more sympathetic to one character than another.Slide7

Comprehension Toolkit

Point of view

Read this point of view from the story of

Cinderella

.

My stepmother and stepsisters treat me like a servant.

I’m

so tired at night that I fall asleep immediately. Sometimes I dream that I am happy again, but when I wake in the morning, nothing has changed. Then my dream seems cruel, offering me hope where there is none.

Who is the narrator?

What

is her point of view?

Who

does the text encourage us to

sympathise

with?

Cinderella (first person)

She believes she is being treated badly.

Comprehension Toolkit

Point of view

Read this

different point

of view

from the

story of

Cinderella

.

The stepsisters took an immediate dislike to Cinderella. She was undeniably beautiful, and thus a threat to their chances of snaring the prince. But she was also rather full of herself, and what better way to bring her down a peg or two than by passing on the worst chores to her!

Who is the narrator

?

What

is

the narrator’s point

of view?

Who

does the text encourage us to

sympathise

with?

A third person narrator, who isn’t directly involved in the situation.

The narrator gives a balanced view by showing another

side

to

Cinderella’s

character, which gives a reason for the stepsisters’ cruelty.

Both Cinderella and her

stepsistersSlide9
