Transcript


00:0-1	narrative perspective . This presentation is about the authors point
00:03	of view . In this presentation , you will learn
00:05	how to identify the perspective of the narrator in a
00:07	story . This presentation is brought to you by the
00:09	reading worksheets dot com dialogue and narration . To be
00:13	able to accurately identify the narrator's perspective , you need
00:16	to understand the difference between dialogue and narration . Dialogue
00:19	is when characters speak . Narration is when the narrator
00:22	speaks . Quotation marks , separate narration from dialogue like
00:26	in the following example help , my cousin Jack said
00:30	in this example , there are two voices . First
00:33	is the voice of my Cousin Jack . This is
00:35	indicated by quotation marks , which show us when characters
00:38	air speaking quotation marks go around dialogue or the voices
00:41	of the characters . My cousin , Jack said ,
00:44	is the voice of the narrator . The narrator is
00:46	telling us who is speaking notice . There are no
00:48	quotation marks around the narrator's voice identifying narrative perspective .
00:52	The narrator's perspective is about the narrator , that is
00:54	to say , the person who is telling the story
00:57	. Therefore , we're not concerned with looking at the
00:59	dialogue or the voices of the characters inside of quotation
01:02	marks . We're not interested in what characters air saying
01:05	, at least not for the purpose of identifying the
01:07	narrator's perspective on Lee . The narrator's voice matters .
01:10	Pronoun case . We're trying to figure out the narratives
01:12	viewpoint on the story . We are assisted in this
01:14	by paying attention to the case of the pronouns that
01:17	the narrator is using these air signal words that indicate
01:19	the perspective . First person will watch for I me
01:22	my mine We us ours second person will watch for
01:26	you and your and third person will be watching for
01:28	he she heard they and them also characters , names
01:32	. If we notice the narrator frequently using these words
01:34	, it may help us identify the perspective of the
01:37	narrator . Here is a secret . I am in
01:41	the room . I am the first person . Then
01:44	you come in the room . Which person are you
01:46	? In the room ? You are the second person
01:48	. Then he or she came into the room .
01:51	He or she would then be which person ? That
01:53	is right . He or she would be the third
01:55	person . This is a secret to help you identify
01:58	which pronoun indicates which case first person in first person
02:02	perspective . The narrator is part of the story ,
02:04	usually an active character . Often the narrator will be
02:07	using Ire Week because the narrator is telling his or
02:09	her own story firsthand , so I will frequently be
02:13	used . For example , I went home . Tim
02:17	came over . I couldn't play . Noticed that the
02:19	narrator is telling his own story . Eyes story .
02:23	This makes it first person . Second person . Second
02:26	person narration is usually used for instructions . It uses
02:30	you from your perspective . For example , First ,
02:34	gather your materials . Add one cup of sugar to
02:36	flour , so instructions of recipes air frequently written from
02:40	second person perspective , that is to say , you
02:42	are the agent in the sentences . Third person in
02:46	third person . The narrator usually isn't involved in the
02:49	story he or she is telling other people's stories .
02:53	That is why the narrator will be using lots of
02:55	he or she's a swell as characters names . There
02:59	are three types of third person narration . The difference
03:03	between the three types is basically on the question .
03:06	Does the narrator tell the thoughts and feelings of the
03:09	characters ? So the Onley thing that we're concerned with
03:12	is identifying whether the narrator is revealing the thoughts and
03:15	feelings of the characters as This is what differentiates the
03:18	three types of third person narration . Third person omniscient
03:22	in third person Amish . In narration , the narrator
03:24	is all knowing the narrator will tell the thoughts and
03:27	feelings of Mawr than one character . We could remember
03:30	this because Omni means all and synth means knowing .
03:34	Put together the words are all knowing . The narrator
03:37	is all knowing . For example , Tim was mad
03:40	at Shea . He blamed her . Shea knew Tim
03:43	would be mad , but she wanted to live her
03:45	life . You could see in the bolted portions of
03:47	the example that the narrator's revealing characters , thoughts or
03:49	feelings such as Tim was mad or Shea knew ,
03:53	Third Person Limited and third person limited narration . The
03:56	narrator is limited to the thoughts and feelings of one
03:59	character , so the narrator will tell us how one
04:02	character thinks and feels . For example , Tim was
04:05	mad at Shea . He blamed her . She just
04:07	left without saying anything . She left a note and
04:09	then left him . In this example , we see
04:11	the narrator reveals the thoughts and feelings of one character
04:14	Onley . Tim's thoughts and feelings are revealed , since
04:17	the narration is limited exclusively toe one character in this
04:20	case , Tim . This passages , narrated from third
04:23	Person Limited perspective , third person objective , third person
04:27	objective narration . The narrator does not reveal any characters
04:30	, thoughts or feelings . This does not mean that
04:32	we can not understand how characters air thinking or feeling
04:35	on Lee . That the narrator doesn't reveal explicitly or
04:38	doesn't clearly state what the characters are thinking and feeling
04:41	. Readers can still understand what characters are thinking and
04:44	feeling through their dialogue and their actions , as the
04:47	narrator will continue to reveal the character's dialogue and actions
04:51	. For example , Tim slammed the door . He
04:53	walked upstairs and read a note from Shea . He
04:55	kicked her trash can and started crying . In this
04:58	example , the narrator doesn't tell us what Tim is
05:00	thinking or feeling , but because of his actions ,
05:02	we could infer that Tim is upset at Chez .
05:05	Here's some tips on identifying narrators perspective . Check for
05:09	first or second person perspective before worrying about Objective limited
05:12	or Amish int . This will save you time .
05:14	Ask yourself Whose story is the narrator telling ? Is
05:17	he telling his own story , which would make it
05:19	first person ? My story , which would make it
05:21	second person or someone else's story , which would make
05:24	it third person . Remember to focus on the narration
05:27	, not the dialogue . I hope this helps you
05:29	accurately identify the narrator's perspective . You could test your
