4. V. POINT OF VIEW Point of view - the mode of narration that an author employs to let the readers ‘hear’ and ‘see’ what takes place. Stories are generally told in one of three points of views: First-person point of view Third-person point of view Omniscient point of view

5. POINT OF VIEW First-person point of view -one of the characters in the story will narrate– give an account–of the story (using pronoun I, me, we, etc.) Third-person point of view -the narrator is not in the story. The third-person narrator is not a character. (uses third personal pronoun he, she, it, they)

6. POINT OF VIEW OMNISCIENT point of view -a narrator who knows everything about the characters is all knowing or omniscient a. Omniscient Limited - The author tells the story in third person . We know only what the character knows and what the author allows him/her to tell us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of characters if the author chooses to reveal them to us. (access the specific character not the inner working of character)

7. POINT OF VIEW b. Omniscient Objective -The author tells the story in the third person. It appears a camera is following the characters, going anywhere, and recording only what is seen and heard. No interpretations are offered. The reader is placed in the position of spectator without the author there to explain. The reader must interpret events on his own.

8. Omniscient Objective Example "The man walked down the street, his head down, his shoulders slumped. He looked tired and defeated. He stopped at a corner and looked around, as if searching for something. He then pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it. It was a photograph of a woman with a bright smile. He stared at it for a long time, his face hardening. He then crumpled the photo back up and shoved it in his pocket. He continued walking, his head still down, his shoulders still slumped."

9. VI. THEME -piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. It is the author's underlying meaning or main idea that he is trying to convey. The theme may be the author's thoughts about a topic or view of human nature. Examples: Things are not always as they appear to be Love is blind Believe in yourself People are afraid of change Don't judge a book by its cover

10. VII. TONE •When you speak, your tone of voice suggests your attitude. •In fact, it suggests two attitudes: -one concerning the people you’re addressing (your audience), - the other concerning the thing you’re talking about (your subject).
