  • 10. What POV is this? Dazed, suffering intolerable pain from throat and tongue, with the life half throttled out of him, Buck attempted to face his tormentors. But he was thrown down and choked repeatedly, till they succeeded in filing the heavy brass collar from off his neck. Then the rope was removed and he was flung into a cagelike crate. There he lay for the remainder of the weary night. Nursing his wrath and wounded pride. He could not understand what it all meant. --From The Call of the Wild by Jack London
  • 11. Analyze your independent novel From what point of view is your independent novel told? a. 1st Person b. 3rd Person Limited c. 3rd Person Omniscient 2. Copy a few sentences from your book to prove that you are correct. For example, if your book is written from a 3rd person limited point of view, you might choose a quote like this: “He was eighteen and one newspaper article about him said that he could be in the major leagues by the time he was nineteen. That’s how good he was,” (p. 17).
  • 12. Creative Writing Connection Re-write the opening scenes of your independent novel from a different point of view. For example: If your independent novel is written from 1st-person POV, re-write the opening scenes in 3rd-person omniscient.
