(Remember there needs to be a specific tone in order for this to count as a literary element!) Information we get based on who is narrating the story. What do we learn about their personal thoughts & feelings that other characters don’t get to see? Refers to the point-of-view from which the story is narrated. The story can be from first-person narration (“I saw…”) or from third-person narration (“he saw”). Notably, there are some important variations on both of these major points of view: First person protagonist - the person telling the story is also the main character First person observer - the person telling the story is a secondary character in the story. Third person limited - the narrative follows around one character primarily and has access to his/her thoughts. This narrative perspective also describes what is happening around him/her. Third person omniscient - has access to multiple character’s thoughts and actions Third person objective - describes only the actions of the characters. We see the actions of the book almost as if on a stage with no access or limited access to the character's thoughts.
