Point of View

Dear Readers,

We have discussed point of view in class. We learned about first person, third person limited, and third person omniscient. Then we analyzed some of Patricia Polacco's books and from whose point of view the story is told.

For example, Thank you, Mr. Falker was written in third person limited. The story is told from Trisha's perspective, but a narrator is telling it because it uses the pronoun "she." As a reader, we do not know everything, but only the thoughts and feelings of Trisha.

In our historical fiction book clubs, we have analyzed our book's point of view. What point of view is your independent reading book told? How does the point of view influence how the story is told, and what you know or do not know?

I look forward to reading about your book's point of view and why it matters.

Be sure to answer both questions in complete sentences, and edit your work before you submit it.

Your teacher,
Ms. Blackmon

  7. My independent reading book is The Hunger Games. Mine is 3rd person limited. I think this because the main character Katniss is telling the story. It does not let you in to other peoples feelings. My text evidence is Katniss said that she wish she knew what Peeta really thought. ( Peeta is a tribute in the hunger games).
