Assignment #5 - POINT OF VIEW (POV)



There are many elements to a story and you have learned quite a few of the terms this year.  Your assignment today is on 'POINTS OF VIEW'.  Read the following and complete #1-3.

POINT OF VIEW (POV):
a.) First Person POV - In a first-person narrative the story is told by a narrator who is also a character within the story, so that the narrator reveals the plot by referring to this viewpoint character as "I" (or, when plural, "we"). 
b.) Second Person POV - second-person narrative mode, in which the narrator refers to one of the characters as "you", therefore making the audience member feel as if he or she is a character within the story.
c.) Third Person POV - In the third-person narrative mode, each and every character is referred to by the narrator as "he", "she", "it", or "they", but never as "I" or "we" (first-person), or "you" (second-person).

ASSIGNMENT: 
1.) Read the notes and make sure you understand the different 'POINTS OF VIEW'.

2.)  Decide which point of view the author uses in the novel and explain why you chose it.  

2.) Give an example from the novel where the author uses the point of view that you chose.

  1. I think this book is a first person POV.
    For example, in page 21, it says "but even thought I barely knew him, he didn't seem like that kind of person."

    1. revised i think the pov in iqbal is when in one part of the book they said "i can feel her sore eyes looking at me"this part in the book made it seem like the story was a first person POV.

  4. I believe this story is a first person point of view because in one part of the story is when it says "I could feel her eyes on me" so this proves it is first person point of view.
