Today, I gave you a handout about Canadian themes, which we then discussed in-depth. I then gave you a handout of questions for a short story in order to ensure you understood the terms that appeared on it. Some of you needed help with "point of view" so I gave you the notes presented below. In addition, I gave you the short story "The Painted Door" by Sinclair Ross. You will have to read it and complete the questions for Wednesday.
Point of View:
Omniscient: Narrator shares the thoughts and/or feelings of more than one character.
Limited Omniscient: Narrator shares the thoughts and/or feelings of one character only.
First person: The "I" or "we" point of view.
Third person: The "he", "she" or "it" point of view.
These can be blended (Third person limited omniscient)
The second person point of view (the "you" point of view) is rarely used in this type of writing.
