Point of View
What is a narrator?
o The narrator is the person telling a story.
o He is the one describing what is happening or what goes into a send of
a story.
Point of View – refers to the way a writer or author allows the readers to “hear”,
”see” and ”feel” what takes place in pieces of writing.
Example:
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. A tear roll down her face. Kevin went on, “if we
got married and bought a house what kind of pet would we get? Some kind of cat-dog?
“Somebody’s going to be unhappy.” Juno begun sobbing and said. “Okay let’s just end it now. Have fun
slobbery dogs” she jump off the bench and ran into the woods.

Sheep went in. Before she came out, the Calf also
went into the cave to visit the lion. But soon the
Lion seemed to be feeling better and come to the
front of his cave. The Lion saw the Fox, who had
been waiting outside for some time. “Why do you
not come to pay your respects to me?” said the
Lion to the Fox. “Please excuse me,” said the fox,
“but I noticed all of the animals that have already
come in to visit you. I see many hoof-marks going in, but I see none coming out. Until the
