Thank you We sneak Every story whether it's about cats

00:15

dogs cats dogs or even something that has nothing to

00:18

do with cats or dogs has a certain point of

00:21

view point of view is exactly what it sounds like

00:24

the perspective from which the story is told whether that

00:27

of a character or a narrator there are three general

00:30

kinds of point of view first person second person and

00:34

third person you should know that not unlike a pokemon

00:38

gold star trading card The second person perspective is incredibly

00:42

rare A second person story is told from the perspective

00:45

of you the reader So unless you're reading and choose

00:47

your own adventure book you're very unlikely to find the

00:50

second person being used so third in first person are

00:54

much more A first person story is told from the

00:56

perspective of one of the characters which could be fun

01:00

or terrifying As a reader we get to experience everything

01:04

they experience not just sensory information but also all of

01:08

their thoughts and emotions Because of that we really get

01:11

to connect with this one character A third person story

01:14

isn't told from the perspective of any particular character where

01:17

just told what happens It might focus on a particular

01:20

character and it might even reveal their thoughts and feelings

01:23

but it isn't actually told from their perspective example time

01:27

Check out this excerpt from the adventures of huckleberry finn

01:30

by mark twain it was about doc now so i

01:33

dropped the canoe down the river under some willows that

01:36

hung over the bank and waited for the moon to

01:38

grass I made fast to willow then i took a

01:41

bat to eat and buy and buy laid down in

01:44

the canoe to smoke a pop and lay out a

01:46

plan of the continued use of eye We can tell

01:49

that this is definitely being told from the first person

01:52

In fact the entire book is told directly from the

01:55

perspective of the character of huck finn which is interesting

01:58

since he couldn't read or write He must have had

02:00

a good transcriber but what if we wanted to make

02:03

this a bit more like one of the harry potter

02:05

books Those stories do follow harry's adventures but they're not

02:08

actually told from his perspective that is there in third

02:11

person so let's see what that text would look like

02:14

in third person for one thing all of those eyes

02:16

will have to go We'll probably have to lose a

02:18

bit of hooks individual voice to stuff like it was

02:21

about doc now and i made fast or took about

02:25

to eat and by and by i laid down in

02:27

the canoe definitely reflect huck's voice so they might not

02:31

stick around and we're just describing the situation room a

02:33

third person perspective It might end up looking something like

02:36

this for mark twain will probably be rolling in his

02:39

grave find by if another wants to get really fancy

02:43

they might even use dual narratives Thes can either be

02:46

first or third person but either way the story follows

02:48

two particular characters showing the connections between their lives These

02:52

stories can be really fun especially when they connect to

02:55

separate characters in a way you've never expect like that

02:58

One time you and your little brother accidentally bonded when

03:00

the power went out and there was nothing else to

03:02

do An example of a duel narrative can be found

03:05

in a long walk to water This story is told

03:07

from the perspectives of two sudanese children nian salva in

03:11

different circumstances nias a young girl in a poor family

03:14

who is unable to go to school instead she has

03:16

to spend her days walking to the nearest water sources

03:19

to get water for her family Soundly on the other

03:21

hand is a young boy from a well respected family

03:24

was a large farm He doesn't have to worry as

03:26

much as me about what he'll have to eat or

03:28

drink Lucky him However at the time of salvos narrative

03:31

a civil war is raging in sudan and when his

03:34

village is attacked he has to fleet Though these two

03:36

kids come from very different backgrounds their perspective show us

03:40

two kinds of hardships that we're faced in sudan giving

03:43

us a deeper appreciation of how tough life was and

03:45

is in that part of the world It certainly doesn't

03:48

work is attempting travel for sure Let me tell you

03:51

whether it's told in the first person second person or

03:54

third person or even a dual narrative all stories have

03:57

a point of view Our point of view is that 00:03:59.79 --> [endTime] up that's pretty cool See what we did there
