IMAGERYSensory language
Way in which story or narrative is told. Can be:
• First Person Point of View: This is very simple. "I went to the store. Afterward, I drove home." You're writing through the eyes of ONE person, and one person only. Nobody else gets to play.
• Third Person (Limited) Point of View: This is the most common form of story. You get to see the thoughts/feelings of only 1 character, not ALL of them. “Robert felt depressed and unhappy after his breakup with Helen. Despondent, he reached for a 5 gallon bucket of GIANT Vanilla Marble Ice Cream.”
• Third Person (Omniscient) Point of View: In Third Omniscient, you‘re ALL-KNOWING! You're telling an overview of the story through mechanisms that aren't available in Third Limited. You know how ALL of the characters think and feel!
