+ Topic: Narrator and Point of View

+ Objective lesson: Tola reads: 

<> In every story there is a storyteller, called a narrator. The narrator tells the actions, the characters and the setting of the story. In fiction, the narrator is not the same as the author. An author creates a narrator. - - 

+ For example, in Treasure Island the narrator who tell the story is Jim Hawkins, the son of an innkeeper. The author who wrote the book is Robert Louis Stevenson. Jim says in the first lines of the book: 

+ Content:  He goes on to mention that he is writing the story in the 1700s. Robert Louis Stevenson was not born until 1850, and wrote Treasure Island in 1883. 

      - There are two main types of narrators: first person and 

third person. A first person narrator is usually a part of the 

story.This narrator uses I and me in the text. 

      - Treasure Island is a first person narration, or story told by Jim, who is a character in the story and uses I and me. Another example from the book: 

      - “I was standing at the door for a moment, full of  sad 

thoughts about my father, when I saw someone drawing 

slowly near along the road.''

      - A third person narrator is the most common in fiction. This narrator is not a character or at least not a main character. This narrator watches what goes on, but does not take a part in it. A third person narrator only uses he, she or 

it, never me or I. Like a first person narration, the author still 

creates the narrator. An example of  a third person narration 

is The Wonderful Wizard of  Oz, by L. Frank Baum. 

“When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, 

she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every 

side.”

+ The author uses she when talking about Dorothy, the main 

character. The only time that I or me is used in the story is in 

conversations. 

+ Remember: In first person, the narrator is usually a main 

character and uses I and me. 

+ In third person narrations, the narrator is not a main character and uses she, he, they or it.  I and me is used only in conversations.

* Classwork: Below are some passages from books. Read them and write what type of narration it is: first person or third person. 

1. At half-past nine, that night, Tom and Sid were sent to bed, as usual. They said their prayers, and Sid was soon asleep. Tom lay awake and waited, in restless impatience. 

(The Adventures of  Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain)

- first person or third person?

2. There were six young colts in the meadow besides me; they were older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up horses. I used to run with them, and had great fun; we used to gallop all together round and round the field as hard as we could go.  

(Black Beauty by Anna Sewell)  

* Gallop= race

3. To begin my life with the beginning of  my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock 

began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. 

(David Copperfield by Charles Dickens)

4. Since his papa’s death, Cedric had found out that it was best not to talk to his mamma about him. When his father was ill, Cedric had been sent away, and when he had returned, 

everything was over... 

(Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett)
