1. POINT OF
VIEW
A Joe Fasen Enhanced PowerPoint presentation

2. Point of view is the viewpoint
from which a story is told.

3. A story is told through
the eyes and mouth of
a character or a
narrator.
It is the “voice” of
the story.

4. In the first-person point of view, the story is
told by one of the characters. The character
uses pronouns such as I or me.
•The narrator is a
character in the story.
•As the reader, you
experience the story
only from what that
character knows,
thinks, and feels.

5. In the second-person point of view the
story is told by you. The narrator will use
the pronoun you.
•The narrator is
you
•You, however
only know what
you are told you
know

6. In the third-person perspective the narrator is neither a
character or you. The narrator will use pronouns such as they,
he and she.
•The narrator is
someone other
then you
•Usually the
narrator knows
things the
characters don’t.

7. In the third-person point of view, the
story is told by a narrator who is not a
character in the story.
