POINT

OF VIEW
1.Do you know
what’s in the
picture?
2.Do you know
its purpose?
Tell the students that, “The POV is similar to a lens. Through a
lens, the author provides its readers to see the story in a particular
view or angle. POV can be presented in many ways and each way
has its problems, responsibilities and effects.”

Recall the definition of Point of View (POV)
- It comes from the Latin word “punctum visus” which literally
means “point sight,” suggesting it’s where you point your sight.
- the narrator’s position in the description of events.
Statements will be given to students for them to analyze the narrator’s
position in the events.

1. I could not believe my eyes. I was standing in front of a building


ablaze with fire.
2. You stayed up late last night and now you’re tired, but you need to
pass this class.
3. Tim was mad at Jane. He blamed her. Jane knew Tim would be mad
but she wanted to live her life.

Questions to be asked:
• What type of POV is used on the situations?
• How did you arrive with your answer?
DISCUSSION OF TYPES OF POINT OF
VIEW (POV)

Four Types of Point of View (POV)


1st Person POV – First person is when “I” am telling the
story. The character is “in” the story, relating his or her
experiences directly.

2nd Person POV – The story is told to “you.” This POV is rare
and provides a different form of intimacy. The author gives
the reader a certain level of experience to be one of the
characters in the story. The 2nd person is mostly used when a
loved one is addressed directly in romantic poetry.
3rd Person POV, Limited – The story is about “he”or
“she.” This is the most common POV in fiction. The
narrator is outside of the story and relating the
experiences of a character.

3rd Person POV, Omniscient - The story is about


“he”or “she,” but the narrator has full access to the
thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story.
FIRST PERSON

 It is the most personal type of POV.Here, the


narrator tells the story from his/her
perspective and frequently uses the pronoun
I.Most often than not, the main character of
the story is the narrator.He/she provides the
readers the general atmosphere, the setup of
the story and introduces the readers to
different situations.
SECOND PERSON

 Itis one of the types of POV that is rare and


provides a different form of intimacy.Here,
the author gives the reader a certain level
of experience to be one of the characters in
the story, whether we imagine “you” as a
listener of the story, as a different
personality of the narrator as a character
that anonymously makes it way through the
story.
THIRD PERSON

It is a type that tells the story from


the perspective of someone outside
of the story.Here,the narrator usually
describes the characters using
pronouns such as ‘he’ or ‘she’ and
they.
Directions: Determine from which Point of
View the passage is narrated and explain
how you know.
1. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining.
Kevin and Juno were sitting on a park bench together.
Neither of them was smiling. After a long period of
silence, Kevin said, “This isn’t going to work. I mean,
you’re a dog person and I’m a cat person.” Juno
nodded. Kevin went on, “If we get married and buy a
house, what kind of pet will we get? Some kind of cat-
dog? Somebody’d going to be unhappy.” Juno began
sobbing and said, “Ok, let’s just end it now.” She
jumped off the bench and ran into the woods.
2. The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn’t
bother me. The sound of my feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a
steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm.
These sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next
step and keeping my tempo. I soared over the sidewalks like concrete
clouds.
3. Jeremiah squinted from the sun. He was thinking about the game.
They could have won. He could have won the game for them. All he
needed to do was catch the ball, but he didn’t. He dropped it. His coach
talked to him. “Jeremiah, we had a great season. Nobody’s perfect.
Look at me. Ha ha,” he said. Jeremiah smiled at the coach, but he
couldn’t forgive himself so easily.

4.The parade marched down the street. It was led by a caped drummer.
He set a stately pace and tapped the accompanying rhythm. A marching
band followed behind him, matching his pace. Behind the band were
floats of all sizes and designs. Children and adults were riding on the
floats, tossing out penny candies, streamers and plastic prizes. The
street was lined with people. The noises of revelry filled the streets.
 5. “You already told me that story,” said Shanice. She looked genuinely
disappointed. I laughed awkwardly. “Sorry,” I said, “I didn’t mean to bore
you with a rerun.” I tried to laugh it off but she just wouldn’t let it go.
“Don’t you even consider your listener before you tell a story?” she
inquired acerbically. This caught me off guard. I replied, “I’m just trying
to keep you entertained, Shanice.” I pleaded. She smacked me down with
