As is described in our red Reader's Handbook, point of view is the vantage point from which a story is told.
- First peron pint of view is where the story is told by one of the charcters. We are limited to knowing only what that character knows, thinks and feels. How do you know if it is first peron point of view? The character uses pronouns such as I or we and usually participates in much of the action.
- Third person omniscient (all knowing) is where the story is told by a narrator who is not a charcter in the story. The narrator will relate the thoughts and feelings of all the characters. We know how everyone thinks and feels. The narrator will use pronouns such as she, he, and they.
- Third person limited is the most common point of view. This is where the story is told by a narrator. However, the narrator will relate the thoughs and feelings of just one character, usually the main character. We do not know how the other characters are feeling and thinking. Again, she, he and they will be used as pronouns.
- Who is telling the story in your novel?
- What point of view is this?
- Think about the story from a viewpoint of a different character. How would the story be different? What details would be left out or added?
The story, The Kid Comes Back by John R. Unis, is told from Roy's point of view. He is the main character, but he is not telling the story, a narrator is telling it. So this is called third person limited. We only know how Roy is feeling and what he is thinking. He is angry because the mechanics don't seem to be aware of the danger of war. The story would be different if it were told from the point of view of one of the mechanics because we wouldn't hear how afraid the gunners are up in the war planes.
Time windows is told from the point cof veiw by a Narrador that is a third person veiw i think if it werte told by Miranda it would be different because we would only know her thoughts but since it is told by a narrorador you get to see other people are feeling

A narrator is telling the story!:)
ReplyDeleteThis is called third person limited!!
The story would be diffrent if helan told the story because she is always having headaches and thinking the house is evil so she would be angry and want to leave the house unlike miranda!!!!
i think the point of veiw for time windows is third person limited because we only know how miranda thinks and feels because shes the main character and they use words she, he and they.

In time windows there are only 2 pionts of veiw meranda's a completely unntold of person that tells you things when meranda isnt
ReplyDeleteIn Time Windows, it is thrid person. It is told by a narrator. It doesn't tell the feelings of others besides the main character, so that would be limited third person POV.
ReplyDeleteI think that the point of veiw for time windows is third person limited.

i think it is third person limited because it only tells us what Miranda is doing or her feelings about something going on.

I think the point of view in time windows is third person limited because, whenever is says something about miranda, instead of saying, " I was scared", it says "miranda was scared". If it was told from, say, helen's point of view, it would talk about what it felt like being possesed.

the point of view is told by a narrorator because when i was readidung, i would know what all the characters were thinking, when they where being talked about, not just when they are talking. this is omniscent because its told in third person{narrorator}. lexi t.
ReplyDeleteThe person who is telling the story in the novel is the narrator.
ReplyDeleteThe point of veiw is omniscient.
If the story was told by Dorothy then you might get to learn how she reacted when Lucinda locked her in the attic, and if she saw Miranda or not.
The details that would be left out is maybe how Miranda's parents were acting. When she lifted up the tiles in the kitchen, we might not know about it.

the point of veiw i think is told by a narrator. it is told in third person by a narrator, because you know who's talking and what they're thinking and they're expresions. i agree with lexi.

I think it is third person point of veiw because Miranda isn't telling the story because in the book it said miranda said. If see told the story it would say I said. it is limted.

I think that the book Time Windows is told in third person limited. An example would be that when it tells about the actions of Miranda it usually uses the word she instead of I. Also, the story does not give everyone's feelings and thoughts unless they say it out loud therefore, that would make it limited and not omniscient. I agree with Rosie M.'s post where it talks about if the story were told in Helen's position what it would be like. Hanna M., 6th Block
ReplyDeleteI think it is third person limited because miranda is not telling the story but, you still know what she thinks and feels. stephanie b. second period
