1 Narrative Perspective Author s Point of View

2 Dialogue and Narration Dialogue = when characters speak. Narration = when the narrator speaks. Quotation marks separate narration from dialogue. Example Help! my cousin Jack said. 1 2

3 Identifying Narrative Perspective It's about the narrator (who tells the story) We're not looking at dialogue. We don't care what characters say. Only the narrator's voice matters.

4 Pronoun Case We are trying to figure out the narrator's view point on/of the story. Perspectives and Signal Words First-Person Second-Person I, me, my, mine, we, us, ours you, your Third-Person he, she, her, they, them (also characters names)

5 First-Person Narrator is a part of the story (character). Often uses I or we. Example I went home. Tim came over. We couldn't play.

6 Second-Person Usually for instructions Uses You from your perspective. Example First, gather your materials. Second, Add one (1) cup sugar to flour.

7 Third-Person Narrator usually is NOT involved. Tells other's stories. Lots of He, She, & character names. Three Types of Third-Person Narration Ask yourself; does the narrator tell thoughts and/or feelings of Characters?

8 The three types of Third-person Third-person Omniscient Third-person Limited Third-person Objective

9 Third-Person Omniscient Narrator is all knowing. Narrator tells thoughts and feelings of more than one character. Omni = All Scient = Knowing Example Tim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay knew Tim would be mad, but she wanted to live her life.

10 Third-Person Limited Narrator is limited to one character. Tells thoughts and feelings of one character Example Tim was mad at Shay. He blamed her. Shay just left without saying anything. She left a note and then left him.

11 Third-Person Objective Narrator does not reveal any character s thoughts or feelings. Only character s dialogue and actions are narrated. Example Tim slammed the door. He walked upstairs & read a note from Shay. He kicked her trash can & started crying.

12 Tips on Identifying Check 1st or 2nd-person before worrying about objective, limited, or omniscient. Ask, Whose story is the narrator telling: the narrator s, mine, or someone else s? Focus on narration NOT dialogue.

13 Practice 1. Read the following passages. 2. Determine the narrator s perspective. 3. Write down your answer on your notes sheet.

14 1 When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself I had no brothers or sisters. So through boyhood, from the age of four months onward, there was just us two, my father and

15 1 First-person When I was four months old We lived in

16 2 The huge man dropped his blankets and flung himself down and drank from the surface of the green pool. The small man stepped behind him. "Lennie!" he said sharply. "Lennie, for God sakes don t drink so much." Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder.

17 2 Third-person Objective: The narrator does not reveal any character thoughts or feelings. In the passage it just shows George and Lennie talking.

18 3 The previous night, make your plans for the next day and write them down If you attend an exclusive Samurai s party and feel timid, you cannot do your part in making it a successful party. You had first better prepare by

19 3 Second-Person: make your plans for the next day If you attend an exclusive Samurai s party you cannot do your part in making it a successful party.

20 4 Harold Davis took a deep breath and slowly started to peel the gauze from the wound on his grandmother s leg. Hold on, Grandma. I m almost done, He said quietly. Don t worry, baby. It doesn t hurt too much, she quietly replied. Just take your time. Harold glanced up

21 4 Third-Person Objective: We only know what the grandma and Harold are doing not whay they thought or felt.

22 5 They were standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other's neck, and Alice knew which was which in a moment because one of them had "DUM" embroidered on his collar, and the other "DEE." "I suppose they've each got "TWEEDLE" round at the back of the collar," she said to herself. They stood so still

23 5 Third-Person Limited: They were standing under a tree Alice knew which was which They stood so still that she quite forgot they were alive she was startled by a voice coming from the one marked Dum.

24 6 Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar Leslie sat in front of Paul. She had two long, brown pigtails that reached all the way down to her waist. Paul saw those pigtails, and a terrible urge came over him. He wanted to pull a pigtail. He wanted to wrap his fist around it, feel the hair between his fingers, and just yank. He thought it would be fun to tie the pigtails together, or better yet,

25 6 Third-Person Limited: Paul saw those pigtails, and a terrible urge came over him. He thought it would be fun to tie the pigtails together, or better yet, tie them to her chair. But most of all, he just wanted to pull one.

26 A Sleepy Sto ry by Elisabeth Burrow es Once there w as a little girl. It was tim e to go to sleep. She hopped into bed and covered herself up to her chin w ith her big red blanket. She said to her m other, Tell m e a story. So her mother said: Once upon a tim e there w as a giraffe, a little giraffe w ith a long, long neck. It w as tim e to go to sleep. H e said to his m other Tell m e a story. So his m other said, Once upon 7

27 Third-person Objective: The narrator does not reveal any character thoughts or feelings. The passage just shows the little girl and her mother talking. 7
