 UNDERSTANDING POINT OF VIEW
The Point of view refers to
the mode of narration that
authors employ to let the
readers hear and see what
takes place in the story.
Authors use three points of
view in telling their story:
1. First person point of view involves
the use of either of the two pronouns
“I” and “we.” In the first person point
of view, the narrator who may also be
a character, participates in the
action of the story.

Ex.“I felt like I was flying above the

clouds.”
“We felt like we were flying above
the clouds.”
Second person point of view employs
the pronoun “you.” In the second
point of view, the writer uses a
narrative onlooker who is saying
something about you - the reader.
Ex.
You went to school that morning.”
“Sometimes, you have to think
twice or even several times before
you decide.
3 Third person point of view uses
pronouns like “he,” “she,” “it,”
“they” or a name of a character. In
the third person point of view, the
narrator does not participate in the
action of the story as one of the
characters, but lets us know
exactly what the characters think,
and how the characters act and
feel. We learn about the characters
through this outside voice.
Task 2. Let’s Sort Out
With your partner. , read each passage from
different narratives and identify the narrators'
point of view. Complete the table by writing

appropriate column

 Passage 1:
The Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum

The Scarecrow found a tree full of

nuts and filled Dorothy's basket
with them, so that she would not be
hungry for a long time. She thought
this was very kind and thoughtful of
the Scarecrow, but she laughed
heartily at the awkward way in
which the poor creature picked up
the nuts. His padded hands were so
clumsy that he dropped almost as
many as he put in the basket. But
the Scarecrow did not mind how
long it took him to fill the basket,
for it enabled him to keep away
from the fire, as he felt that a spark
might get into his straw and burn
him up.
Passage 2: The Skull of Truth: A Magic
Shop Book by Bruce Coville and Gary A.
Lippincott
To his astonishment, Charlie found
himself standing next to his bicycle,
back where he had entered the swamp.
That was bizarre and upsetting but not
as bad as the realization that he was
still holding the skull. He thought he
had dropped it before he raced out the
door. He certainly hadn't intended to
steal the thing. He didn't even really
want it!
Passage 3: Invitation to the Game by Monica
Hughes
And we scrounged. Next to survival, scrounge was
probably the most important word in our new
vocabulary. We found a store that was throwing
out water-damaged mattresses. Getting them
home was a problem, since we had to make two
trips, leaving Brad and Katie, armed with sticks to
guard over the remained. I truly expected them to
be challenged by some gang boss, but they said
that the only person who came by was a scrawny
little rat of a girl living alone. We let her have one
of the mattresses.
Passage 4:
To Make French Toast
First, take out a skillet to cook and turn
the stove on low. Second, you will melt
the butter in the pan and stir it with a
spatula. Third, beat the eggs. Fourth,
lay the bread, white or wheat, on both
sides in the eggs. Fifth, sit the bread on
top of butter for 30 seconds and then
turn over. Now, you have a slice of
French toast.
Passage 5:

"Do you love candy?" I asked

my friend Roxanne. I always
make friends with other people.
Passage 6:
At the pizza place, Tony, the baker, was
getting the pizzas ready for baking. He
flattened out a ball of dough into a large
pancake and tossed it in the air. He
spread tomato sauce on it, sprinkled it
with cheese, and shoved it in the oven.
Then the telephone rang. "A fellow from
the factory wants a large pizza
delivered in a hurry," Tony's wife called.
"OK, I'll get my coat," said Tony
Read and Analyze
Read the following excerpts of
the narratives then identify the
narrators' point of view. On the
blank before each number,
write F if the excerpt of the
narrative is in the first person, S
if it is in the second person, and
T if it is in the third person.
_____1. Some dark night, Shelly said, "I
hate squirrels,” but really she loved
them. Carol said, “They smell,” but
really, she loved them too. Both of them
thought that squirrels were pretty cute.
_____2. You are a mountain climber.
Three years ago, you spent the summer
at a climbing school in the mountains of
Colorado. Your instructors said that you
had natural skills as a climber. You
made rapid progress and by the end of
the summer you were leading difficult
rock and ice climbs.
_____3. It all began when Ms. Frizzle
showed our class a film strip about the
human body. We knew trouble was
about to start, because we knew Ms.
Frizzle was the strangest teacher in the
school.
_____4. I have told you, reader, that I
had learnt to love Mr. Rochester: I
could not unlove him now, merely
because I found that he had ceased to
notice me--because I might pass hours
in his presence
_____5. Lorraine, Cindy's mother, came
out of her bedroom carrying a small
mirror. She peered at her reflection as
she walked, carefully examining the
lipstick she had just put on. "Stop
whining' baby. Just straighten things
up before you leave for school. I'm late
for work." "I'm not going to school
today,” Cindy declared. She waited to
see if her mother would get angry and
insist that she go.
_____6. We lived on the main
residential street in town
Atticus, Jem and I, plus
Calpurnia, our cook. Jem and I
found our father satisfactory:
he played with us, read to us,
and treated us with courteous
detachment... Our mother died
when I was two, so I never felt
her absence.
_____7. They spoke no more until
camp was made. Henry was
bending over and adding ice to the
bubbling pot of beans. Henry
grunted with a tone that was not
sympathy, and for a quarter of an
hour they sat on in silence, Henry
staring at the fire, and Bill at the
circle of eyes that burned in the
darkness just beyond the firelight.
(excerpt from White Fang by Jack
London)
_____8. 168. That’s how many hours
there are in a week. If you’re a student,
you probably feel like this isn’t enough.
I know … You have so many
assignments to do, projects to work on,
and tests to study for. Plus, you have
other activities and commitments. And
I’m sure you want to have a social life,
too. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could
study smarter (not harder), get good
grades, and lead a balanced life?
_____9. As I walked inside the
department store, I saw a
woman and a child arguing
with each other. The child was
asking her mother to buy him
an expensive toy. Then, I
remembered my childhood
days when I, myself, also did
the same thing.
_____10. Once upon a time, there was a
beautiful young duck named Ping. Ping
lived with his mother and his father and
two sisters and three brothers and eleven
aunts and seven uncles and forty-two
cousins. Their home was a boat with two
wise eyes on the Yangtze river. Each
morning as the sun rose from the east,
Ping and his mother and his father and
sisters and brothers and aunts and uncles
and his forty-two cousins all marched,
one by one, down a little bridge to the
shore of the Yangtze river.
What is point of view?
Narratives provide a lens through which
readers look at the world. Point of view
is the way the author allows you to
“see” and “hear” what’s going on in the
story. Skillful authors can fix their
readers’ attention on exactly the detail,
opinion, or emotion they want to
emphasize by manipulating the point of
view of the story.
