Points of View

First Person: The author participates as a character. Word choice of I, me or other personal and possessive words indicate that the author is using first person. The reader must be cautious because the point of view can be one sided and biased.


Third Person Omniscient: The reader knows all things about the characters such as: what they are thinking, how they are feeling, what is going on in their life, etc.


Third Person Limited: The reader only knows the details of the characters that are provided.


Third Person Objective: The author has a point in writing. The author writes about something that is happening, and the reader can not infer anything else.


Third Person Collective: The author writes the work from the perspective of a group or community. The author does not participate as a character.
