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 | |
