Week 4 Assignment 1 Discussion
Assignment 1: Point of View
By Wednesday, July 19, 2017, complete and post your assignment
to the Discussion Area.
By the end of the week, comment on at least two of your
classmates’ submissions. Remember that your replies should help your classmates
expand, clarify, defend, and/or refine their work. You can ask questions and
use declarative sentences to express your thoughts. Be sure to be honest,
clear, and concise, referring to specific words and passages from your
classmates’ work. Always use constructive language, and avoid negative
language; work toward using a tone and spirit of intellectual curiosity and
discovery. Your responses to your peers’ writing should include specifics if
you are attempting to make a point.
Address the following:
Select one of the stories assigned by your instructor. Post a
response of at least 150 words.
Identify the point of view used in the narration.
Discuss how this point of view affects your reading and
interpretation of the story.
How might a different type of narration (point of view) alter
the meaning of the story?
Provide at least two specific examples from the text to
illustrate and support your argument.
Guidelines
Point of view refers to the perspective from which the story is
narrated. Various points of view can be present in literature. Points of view
include:
First person: the story is told from the perspective of the
narrator, who is usually the protagonist, using first-person pronouns—I, me, or
we.
Second person: the narrator addresses readers as “you,” which
gives the audience the feeling that they are in or a part of the story.
Third person omniscient: the story is told using third-person
pronouns, such as he, she, or they, and the narrator is godlike in his or her
ability to see and know everything (omniscient).
Third person limited: the narrator tells the story using
third-person pronouns, but the narrator is not all knowing, for his or her
knowledge is limited to the perspective of one character.
Point of view has an impact on how we understand the story.
First-person narrators are often unreliable as they are telling the story from
their own subjective perspective. In fact, a first-person narrator may fail to
notice things that a careful reader will identify. Similarly, a third-person
omniscient narrator gives the illusion of complete knowledge or understanding,
suggesting to the reader that the story is a realistic account of life.
Remember that claims in all parts of the assignment should be
substantiated by excerpts from appropriate sources. Use APA rules of style for
quotations, paraphrases, and summaries as well as in-text citations and
references. Quoted material should not exceed 25% of your response.
Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for
properly citing resources.
Post your response in the Discussion Area.
