3. Lesson 4
Point of View
3/1/20XX SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT

4. Point of view (POV) is what the character
or narrator telling the story can see (his or her
perspective).The author chooses “who” is to
tell the story by determining the point of view.
Depending on who the narrator is, he/she will
be standing at one point and seeing the
action.

5. 1. First Person Point of View – is used when the
main character is telling the story, this is the kind that
uses the “I” narration. As a reader, you can
experience the story through this person’s I’s, so you
won’t know anything about the people and events that
this character hasn’t personally experienced.
Different Types of Point of View

6. First Person Peripheral – this is when the
narrator is a supporting character in the story,
not the main character. It still uses the “I”
narration, but since the narrator is not the
protagonist, there are events and scenes that
will happen to the protagonist that the narrator
will have access to.

7. 2. Second Person Point of View – is generally only used in
instructional writing. It is told from the perspective of “you”.
3. Third Person Point of View – The third person point of
view is used when your narrator is not a character in the
story. The third person uses the “He, she”. It is the most
commonly used of point of view in writing.

8. Limited – In limited third-person, the narrator sees only
what’s in front of him/her, a spectator of events as they
unfold and unable to read any other character’s mind.
Omniscient – An omniscient narrator sees all, much as
an all knowing god of some kind. He or she sees what
each character is doing and can see into each character’s
mind. This is common with an external character, who is
standing above, watching the action below (think of a
person with a crystal ball, peering in).

9. Limited Omniscient – The limited
omniscient third-person narrator can only
see into one character’s mind. He/she
might see other events happening, but
only knows the reasons of one character’s
actions in the story.

10. PERSONA
The term persona has been derived from the Latin word
persona, which means “the mask of an actor,” and is
therefore etymologically linked to the dramatis personae,
which refers to the list of characters and cast in a play or a
drama. It is also known as a “theatrical mask.” It can be
defined in a literary work as a voice or an assumed role of
a character, which represents the thoughts of a writer, or a
specific person the writer wants to present as his
mouthpiece.

11. Example of Persona in Literature
Distillation
Jan L. Velasco
Watching the rain spilling down,
drowning the earth below,
reminds me of
life's perpetual change.
The storm that we dread,
is a sea of kindness
that lifts--the mask
of (world's) avarice and sufferings
and fills the thirst, up to the brim of our souls

12. The Importance of Point of View
Point of view is important in a story
because it helps the reader understand
characters’ feelings and actions. Each
character will have his or her own
perspective, so whoever is telling the story
will impact the reader’s opinion of other
characters and events.

13. Additionally, reading the story from a character
in the story versus an external character
changes the amount of information a reader
has as the story unfolds. With an omniscient
third-person, we can see everything before
other characters do, which gives us forewarning
about other events. With a limited third-person,
we are not allowed to see other events until the
narrator does so.
