[ISLMA-Share] Point of View in YA

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

When I taught Creative Writing, I used samples from the following texts:

*first person* - first page of *The Catcher in the Rye*


*second person* - Julie Orringer's short story "Breathing Underwater"
and/or a Choose Your Own Adventure (some people argue that 2nd person
doesn't exist, that it's a another version of first person)


*third limited* - parts of the 1st Harry Potter - specifically when he is
traveling to Hogwarts (great to talk about how the book would differ if
 Rowling chose first person)


*third omniscient - *? can't remember


*third objective - *though you didn't request it Ernest Hemingway's "Hills
like White Elephants" is a great example (but has mature content)
