Determining Point of View

How can you determine an author’s point of view? Turn and talk with your partner and share your thoughts.

Point of View

The author's point of view is the way he/she looks at the topic. The position on the subject is the author's opinion or judgment of it. Think a persons perspective. (Word Document)

First Person: Story is
told from the point
of view of a character.

Second Person: The
author is speaking to the reader.

Third Person: A
narrator is telling the story.

Omniscient: all-knowing because
the narrator has
access to all aspects of the story

Point of View

How can I figure out an author’s point of
view?

- Does the author share any opinions?

- If it’s fiction, what are the main character’s
thoughts, feelings, and opinions?

threw the tablets out of his hands,
