The Narrator's Point of View.

1. THE NARRATOR’S
POINT OF VIEW (POV)
By Caio Peroni

2. Our main question:
How does the POV affect a
story?
By Caio Peroni

3. Some examples:
The first person narrator:
“You know I get bus sick, Harry,” Alex groaned.
“Alex, give me a break.” I shoved my brother against the
window. “We’re almost there. Don’t start thinking about
getting bus sick now!”
The bus rumbled over the narrow road. I held onto the seat in
front of me. I gazed out the window.
Alex’s chin trembled. He cleared his throat. Then he began to
sing a Beatles song we both really like.

Sony - Make believe
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who
mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr.
Seuss

5. The third person narrator (objective):
Invisible fingers lift Sally's long hair. It is with pathetic
eagerness that she looks around for whomever is responsible
for this.

6. The third person narrator (limited):
Fascinated, Harry thumbed through the rest of the envelope's contents. Why on earth
did Filch want a Kwikspell course? Did this mean he wasn't a proper wizard? Harry
was just reading "Lesson One: Holding Your Wand (Some Useful Tips)" when shuffling
footsteps outside told him Filch was coming back. Stuffing the parchment back into the
envelope, Harry threw it back onto the desk just as the door opened.
Filch was looking triumphant.
