Page 13: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

Dialogue and Narration

Dialogue: characters’ “voices”

Narration: the narrator’s voice

She said, “Hey, you!”

We are interested in narration.

Page 14: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

Third-Person Narration

Narrator tells “his” or “her” story.

Three Types of 3rd-Person:

1. Limited

2. Omniscient

3. Objective

Page 15: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

What’s the Difference?

Are characters’ inner thoughts narrated?

Does narrator reveal thoughts and feelings?

Character

I feel sad.

Narrator

He felt sad.

Page 16: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person Objective

Internal thoughts are not told.

Readers may INFER thoughts and feelings based on actions or dialogue.

Chris slowly walked up to Elma with his hands behind his back. “So… you want to go with me,” he said nervously. Elma blushed. “Ok.” Chris smiled.

Characters’ internal thoughts not narrated.

Page 17: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person Objective:No characters’ thoughts.

Chris ElmaOk.

So, you want to go

with me?

Page 18: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person Limited

Narrator reveals thoughts and feelings of one character.

Chris liked Elma since the third-grade, but he had never found the nerve to tell her. But one sunny day, Chris said to Elma, “So… you want to go with me?” Emma blushed and said, “Ok” Chris smiled.

• Tells his internal thoughts

• Internal Narration is limited to Chris

Page 19: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person Limited:One character’s thoughts.

Chris

I like Elma.

Elma

Ok. So, you want to go with me?

Page 20: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person OmniscientOmni = All Scient = Knowing

Omniscient narrators tell more than one character’s thoughts or feelings.Chris had liked Elma since the third-grade. Little did he know that Elma liked him too. They both admired one another from a far, and waited. One day, Chris said to Elma, “So… you want to go with me?” Emma felt her stomach sink. She couldn’t believe it. Blushing, she said, “Ok.” Chris smiled.

Omniscient narrator is all-knowing.

Page 21: Narrator’s Perspective Point of View. Narrator The one who tells the story Characters Everyone else in the story What’s the narrator’s position in the.

3rd-Person Omniscient:Two or more characters’ thoughts.

Chris

I like Elma.

ElmaOk.

Oh, I like Chris.

Want to go with me?

Telling the Difference

1. Focus on the narration.

2. Circle any narrated thoughts or feelings.

3. Count each characters’ thoughts.

Only THIRD-PERSON has these modes.

There is no first or second-person objective, omniscient, or limited narration.
