They are usually a side character looking into the main character, and because of that they can help describe them. An example the author gave was the story The Great Gatsby. However, when writing in this point of view, it is important that the character not only reveals what is happening, but also shows how they are being affected as well.]]> 2020-11-12 15:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916778023 allison_g_sauder https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916778314 Third person objective is what you would use to write a script for a play. The narrator does not intrude on the story and their descriptions have to be based on concrete external evidence. An example in the text is Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery". Some benefits of writing in third person objective are it allows a lot of freedom especially with description and it's good for writing events that are strange.]]> 2020-11-12 15:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916778314 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916780815 I usually write in First Person: Main Character because it's easier and lets the reader know what's going on in their mind.]]> 2020-11-12 15:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916780815 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916783927 Third person omniscient means that the reader knows everything. They understand each character/ what goes on in their head and is a "panoramic view" of all of the characters. An example would be in Pride and Prejudice. The author makes switches between the characters to help further educate the reader. A challenge to this is you can't really explain each character in deep detail because it will get too boring and unnecessary. A benefit to this is that there are endless opportunities to make characters and have a good exposition for your story. ]]> 2020-11-12 15:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916783927 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916785470 This types of narration includes the "I" voice and the story is told through the eyes of the main character. For example, "This Is My Living Room" by Tom McAfee is a text that uses first person. The advantages of using this POV is that it narrows your field of vision and gives you an exact point for your descriptions. This can unify the theme and tighten the plot. Additionally, it can ultimately magnify the emotion of certain elements. However, if you choose this, the character also has to be present in every scene, which you must work around.]]> 2020-11-12 15:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916785470 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916788535 To know everything; to move freely through time and space; to look into the heart of every person,  tree, and insect; to opine or praise or condemn with impunity. What power! Within the first few pages of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen accomplishes no fewer than six such switches, alternating vantage points from the omniscient narrator to character and back again, then from one character to another, finally circling back to the narrator.
Benefits: encourages abstraction because the narrator is capable of dwelling inside his characters´ minds, offers many rewards: describe many, many things, can describe things hidden from the other character´s view
Challenges: don´t take so much time describing every detail because it takes time away from all the tasks at hand, if your main goal is to describe people, places or objects in specific and concrete detail, omniscient narration may not be your best viewpoint choice.]]> 2020-11-12 15:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916788535 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916796623 I usually like to write in 3rd person, it just lets me tell a broader picture.

An example of this perspective would be Lord of the Flies. A deficit of this narration type is that explanations and detailing can be unnecessary, while a benefit is that there are endless opportunities for descriptions.]]> 2020-11-12 15:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916799348 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916815303 In this perspective, the third person narrator knows the thoughts of only one or two characters. This creates a satisfying combination of emotion and concrete description that keep the reader interested. In one sentence Doris Betts couples details anyone could have observed with the personal hope of a character: "Her clothes had been hung in a green wall locker next to Jesus, including the linen dress with the 24-inch waist she hoped to wear next week." It is a challenge, however, to seamlessly combine objective and personal perspectives in one story.]]> 2020-11-12 15:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916815303 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916825667 2020-11-12 15:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916825667 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916836311 2020-11-12 15:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916836311 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916838101 I usually like to write/read stories in 1st person because it is easier to understand that character and gives a realistic limitation of what the character knows about other characters.

For example, Flowers for Algernon, where story is narrated through a man. On the other hand, a benefit of this is that the reader can really be in the character's mind and know their thoughts. So, it makes it easy for the reader to understand. Yet, it's harder to know the other character's thoughts and ideas because you're only set in one character's point of view. To add, that also makes the story all about that one character.]]> 2020-11-12 15:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916871681 https://padlet.com/gina_lassandro/je1m2xv742ey/wish/916889893 Benefits- One of the most natural feeling narrating styles
