Notes

The narrator of a story is the voice that is telling, or narrating, the story. The point of view tells you how the narrator is connected to the story. There are three main points of view:
In first-person, the narrator is a character in the story. First-person narrators use first-person pronouns, such as I, we, me, us, my, our, mine, and ours.
As I walked along the beach, I searched for shells to add to my collection.
In second person, the narrator makes the reader a character in the story. Second-person narrators use second-person pronouns, such as you, your, and yours.
You slowly open the strange red box. Your hands are shaking because you are so excited.
In third person, the narrator tells the story as an outside observer. This observer often knows what the characters are thinking. Third-person narrators use third-person pronouns, such as he, she, they, him, her, their, his, hers, and theirs, as well as characters' names.
