3rd Person Variations

3^rd Person Variations

You have learned that 3^rd person POV is when the story is about other people (he, she, they).

Within that broad category are several variations, or "modes". To be precise, there are three types of 3^rd person point of view: objective, limited, and omniscient.

1^st Person
2^nd Person
3^rd Person	objective
	limited
	omniscient

The next few lessons will help you make sense of them.

But first, study the following vocabulary words:

objective

based on facts and observable evidence.

The 100-meter dash is scored very objectively; the winner is the first person who crosses the finish line, no matter how pretty or ugly they look.

subjective

based on feelings and opinions.

I don't think that Ice Dancing should be an Olympic sport, because scoring is too subjective; some couples win just because the judges like the way they look.

omniscient

all-knowing

God is omniscient; He or She knows everything.
