• What is perspective?

POINT OF VIEW A story is told from the perspective of either a character within the story or from a narrator outside of the story. Point of view is the perspective used to tell a story.

Why is it important?:

There are 3 main Narrative POV’s:

• 1st Person POV• 2nd Person POV• 3rd Person POV (also

known as Omniscient, Limited, Objective)

• When an author writes a story, they make a deliberate choice in which point of view (perspective) to use to tell the story.

• The POV is important because it significantly influences the plot.

• It determines how much information will be revealed to the reader.


1st Person Point of View:1st person point of view has the narrator as a character in the story.

1st Person POV: 1st Person Example:• By using this perspective,

the reader is able to know that character’s thoughts, feelings, actions and words.

• Sometimes this narrator can be unreliable because we are only seeing things from their point of view. (This narrator doesn’t know what the other characters are thinking and feeling.)

• Pronouns to look for are I, Me, My, Us, We, Our)

“When I stepped out into the bright "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight, from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman, and a ride home.”

- S.E. Hinton (The Outsiders)

Using the pronouns “I” and “My” are the first pieces of evidence that this is written in 1st person point of view.

The person speaking is a character in the story. This also means it is 1st

person point of view.


2nd Person Point of ViewYou use the 2nd person point of view to address the reader as this sentence does.

2nd Person POV Narrator:

2nd Person POV Example:

• Addresses the reader directly by using pronouns “you”, “your”, “yourself”, etc…

• This is a very uncommon point of view to see in fiction as it is mostly used for commands/instructions

Instructional WritingAfter you have shaped the cookies, turn the stove to 400 degrees and put the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes.


3rd Person Point of View is used when the narrator is not involved in the plot and is telling the story from an outside perspective.

3 Types of 3rd Person POV:

3rd Person POV:

• Limited• Omniscient• Objective

Uses pronouns He, She, They, Him, Her


3rd Person Omniscient

Omni = All Scient = Knowing

3rd Person Omniscient: 3rd Person POV

Example:“Some of Wilbur’s friends in the barn

worried for fear all this attention would go to his head and make him stuck up. But it never did. Wilbur was modest;

fame did not spoil him. He still worried some about the future, as he could hardly believe that a mere spider

would be able to save his life. Sometimes at night, he would have a bad dream. …Charlotte had worries of

her own, but she kept quiet about them.”

The narrator is “all knowing” and is able to know the feelings of more than one character, which means it is 3rd person omniscient!

This narrator is able to know the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters and is able to

express what they are thinking to the reader


3rd Person Limited

3rd Person Limited POV example:

3rd Person Limited POV example:

The narrator tells the story as an outside observer and only focuses on the thoughts and feelings of ONE character.

After reading this, we learn from the narrator that even though Harry loathes his “family”, he still has mixed feelings when it comes to leaving. After all, that had been his home for the last 16 years. However, we don’t know how the Dursleys feel about the situation. We can only assume they feel the same way.

“They’ll be here in about five minutes,” he said, and when none of the Dursleys replied, he left the room. The prospect of parting probably forever from his aunt, uncle and cousin was one that he was able to contemplate quite cheerfully, but there was nevertheless a certain awkwardness in the air. What did you say to one another at the end of 16 years’ solid dislike?


3rd Person Point of View - Objective is unable to enter any character’s minds, but is still an outside observer who only shares what is SEEN and HEARD (no thoughts or feelings).

3rd Person POV – Objective example: 3rd Person POV -

Objective:

This narration is sometimes called the “fly on the wall” or “camera lens” approach.

The American and the girl with him sat at a table in the shade, outside the building. It was very hot and the express from Barcelona would come in 40 minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went to Madrid. “What should we drink?: the girl asked. She had taken off her hat and put it on the table. “It’s pretty hot,” the man said. “Let’s drink iced water.” “Dos aqua,” the

man said into the curtain.

The narrator does not provide any information about the characters’ thoughts or feelings. He remains completely objective providing only the facts/details of what is happening.



I Do: All Eyes on Me! I Do cont’d: Just keep watching

• Turn to pg. 44 and read through pg. 47 in “Fahrenheit 451” with me

• Step 1 – to determine the POV, I will answer the question “Can the reader take their word for it or would the reader be better off judging the events for him/herself?

• Step 2 – determine how the author establishes point of view (besides the use of certain pronouns.) What descriptive details are used to create point of view? Does the narrator participate in the events of the plot, or is there a distance between the narrator and the events?


I Do cont’d Are you still watching?

Step 3• Step 3 - Analyze how

that particular point of view affects the story. Imagine the story told from a different point of view (from 1st to 3rd person, or 3rd person omniscient to 3rd person neutral, etc.)

• How much access does the narrator have to the thoughts, feelings, and actions of the other characters? What would change in the story? Would the reader gain new knowledge from the new point of view, or would the reader miss out on important information? Would the reader feel differently about one or more of the characters if the story was told from a different point of view? Why or why not?

Fahrenheit 451 Facts: things that make you go hmmmmm….

The Book:Guy Montag’s name was a combination of a paper company in the U.S. and Guy is related to Guy Flawkes, the man who tried to put a bomb in the British Parliament

The Author:

• The book was titled “Fahrenheit 451” because it is said that this is the temperature at which books burn (the temperature at which paper ignites).

• Ray Bradbury once stormed out of a lecture because he was told that he was wrong about his own interpretation of his novel

• Michael Moore “borrowed” the title for his controversial documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” and Bradbury was not happy about that
