A story can be told from one person’s point of view (first-person point of view). This is when the character tells the story and refers to himself/herself as “I.” A story can also be told in third-person point of view. This is where the narrator is not a character within the story. Point of view also refers to how the beliefs and feelings of the narrator affect how a story is told. In the book, Shiloh, Marty is the first-person narrator. He refers to himself as “I” and his feelings are read first-hand. Now, the pen's in your hand... Rewrite a scene from Shiloh from the point of view from another character besides Marty. Characters to choose from: -Shiloh -Judd -Mr. Preston -Mrs. Preston What would a different character think and say within this scene? Would their thoughts and actions be similar to Marty's? Would they have done something differently? You are now the author... be creative! Note: If you need more assistance on point of view, click the link provided on this page. |
