Writing in first person or third person determines not only the pronouns, but how we perceive the story. Often, first person creates more intimacy between the reader and the character. The unreliable narrator is also most common in this perspective. Third person is less invasive and less limiting. In third person, the narrator does not participate in the action.

A point of view is a position in which the story is being told, but did you know that there is two point of views in The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of the Three Little pigs? The two stories have views changed by how the author tells them. In the story of the pigs it’s in third person, but in the wolf’s view he just wants sugar and see’s them as a snack so it’s first person. The story of “The Three Little Pigs” and “The True story of the Three Little pigs” have different point of views that help the readers understanding of the wolf.

There are many writing techniques/crafts that authors write about in their story. For example, stories could have metaphors, flashbacks/flash forwards, or tone. But, in the story The Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allan Poe uses symbolism, revealing actions, and descriptive language to show why the narrator wants to kill the old man.

Stories are told through various forms of literature, and the overall point of telling a story is to convey a message, a meaning that the author wants the reader to interpret and understand. The author does

Narrative point of view refers to the position of the narrator in relation to the story that one is narrating. As such, when evaluating the point of view of the narrator, one focuses on the relationship between the narrator and the characters in the story. There are three major points of view that narrators can adopt while narrating a story. These are first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views. Either of the foregoing points of views have different effect on the understanding and believability of the characters or the story being told, as is evident from O Pioneers! and As I Lay Dying novels.

Short story fiction is a story that is shorter than a novel, has a few characters, and is about an imaginary event or person. Because short fiction is short the writer must capture and hold the reader’s attention within the first paragraph, which requires a mastery of literary technique. Some of the most helpful tools to use in literature are literary devices. Literary devices are any element, subject, or concept that is present through an entire body of literature. If these devices didn 't exist, literature would be very hard to understand. They define the nature of a story, and they bring the text to life. Literary devices enhance the meaning of literature by establishing the theme, mood, and plot. Devices, such as situational irony, symbolism, and setting, are all helpful when reading short stories.

Third person point of view gives more information in first person because Third Person POV is more impartial. For example, some addresses confuse the use of the first or second person (''I, we, you”) and commonly use the third person because it makes the writing sound more objective. This is one reason why third person point of view gives more information. Another reason third person gives more information is because Third Person Point of View gives the writer more freedom. The neutral narrator of a third person story sets the scene for the action that is about to take place. When Mako “Was returning from the island it was dark, fires were lit, and the dark water was alive with phosphorus.” Another example is “In the jungle the light was so dense and green that the boy felt as if he were moving underwater. Ferns grew higher than his head.” This is why Third Person POV gives more information than

The point of view of a narrator can make or break a story, as the narrator is extremely important to the reader's understanding of a story. Different points of view and different narrators can oftentimes affect the point the story is attempting to portray and it even change what the reader believes the story is about. If someone were to go through a story written in a first-person narrative story and change all the pronouns to a third-person point of view, or even a first person plural point of view, it can distort the way the reader understands and comprehends the story.

In the 1st person point of view the reader sees the story unfold from the perspective of the narrator. Many novels use this convention such as classics like Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island. This point of view allows the reader to sympathize with the narrator/main character and place themselves in the lives of these characters. Because of this, however, 1st person narration is limited and biased. The narrator can only know what is taking place around them and even then, the narrator can be considered unreliable due to being able to change certain

Some people say that writing stories in first person point of view is essential for the story teller to be relatable and fascinating and that who needs to burn through 300 pages in the brain of somebody they don’t care for, It will just be a debacle. Also that you need to ensure every sentence doesn’t begin with “i”, or that exchanging character’s perspective can mix up the reader’s and it will be hard to distinguish the perspective, but that’s not true because it’s more reasonable, since we experience genuine through one and only view point.

Oh the stories that can be told and the memories shared. Stories of perilous journeys and portions of everyday livelihood, from days encompassed with the rush of adrenaline to calm nights of romance, stories are filled with wonder. Every utterance of every tale has imagery trailing behind, whether abounding or scarce. Words of a crescent moonlit evening with sounds of the ever so rising and descending tide just outside your window, or even description of the feeling of soft covers beaten by the sun's rays protruding through your window, as the smell of crisp Applewood bacon flows into your nose. Powerful imagery is crucial in creating a sense of relation between the reader and author.

Literary writing is a process; sharing the written word on paper for a reader to join in the vision of what is written. The progression to allow another to imagine the concepts that are developed from one’s mind. For instance, imagine a beautiful stream flowing through a red rock canyon, twisting, curving, traveling over dirt, rocks, plants, moving with the insects and animals along the way. As the stream is moving, it travels through a bed of orange flowers, that sway with the water as it moves through the flowers and one drop remains, standing in the sunlight. The reader understands what is happening with the water, views the flowers, the job that it is performing, the path that it is journeying through. For this exercise, the reader has the necessary tools and abilities to participate’ the outcome is for the reader to become a partner in the vision, the overall priority is simply “seeing” in the mind’s eye of a beautiful

In the poem, “The Bells,” written by Edgar Allan Poe, starts out to be a sweet romantic love story but ended in a tragedy. The poem talks about how a man fell in love with a women and they went on a date, decided to get married, but then a fire broke out on their wedding day and the wife burnt alive. The man was beside himself with grief, anger and was filled with pain. “Fire and Ice,” by Robert Frost, talks about how the world would either end in fire or ice. If it ended in fire it was because of people’s desire, and if ice then because of all the hatred. “A Road Not Taken,” also written by Robert Frost, describes that there are two roads to take and they are both equal in length but the roads are unclear and you don’t know what experience the two roads hold. You can not turn back once you started.

Short fiction has characters that are described in depth, and have a plot that is the center of the story. Poetry is written in verses, usually containing a musical quality, such as meter, rhyme, and onomatopoeia. Poetry also doesn't have to tell a story, yet it usually explains a brief generalized idea. Both can convey a deep meaning, by the authors use of proper language and vivid imagery. The author is able to appeal to the audience's emotions and senses, which allow them to convey a message through writing.

The style of the delivery of the plot is an important aspect of literature. The way in which an author uses narrative is what gives the story substance and life. The plot of any story is just a patterns of events that have a beginning, middle and end. However, the narrative is the medium through which the story is presented and can therefore affect a text and shape the meaning and structure of the plot. The most common form of narrative in literature is the use of a narrator, which is a character that relays the story through written rhetoric.
