Creative Writing: Third Person Point Of View

“Love is Like Alzheimer's” “Kristen, words can’t even describe how you look tonight.” The words moved into her mind, like leaves on an autumn breeze. She awoke to find the phone between her cheek and the pillow, the insistent buzzing the only sound from the black receiver. Had there been a voice

Once we got to the school Chelsea parked her car and got out her heels clicking against the pavement. "Let's go ladies I don't want to be late it's bad for my- our reputation" she says with a quick smile. I rolled my eyes getting out of the car and pulling my bag over my shoulder. "You should put on some mascara" Bethany says pulling out her makeup bag. "I have some on" I quickly respond, "suit yourself, lashes are a big part of looking good" she says shoving her makeup bag back in her purse. Gaby silently exits the car and scurrying over next to Chelsea and Beth.

The kitchen was quiet as he opened the door. Through the glass window near the sink, he could see the sun was just starting to rise from behind the once dark horizon. A rooster crowed from outside, signaling the start of the day. A fresh, cool breeze floated in through the open window. On the table was a very small dark wooden bed which had a small heart craved into the centerpiece. It also had a small white mattress, a red and blue sheets, and a beautiful down quilt.

The early morning air was crisp and the smell of rain still lingered. It was still dark out and the street lamps illuminated the rundown neighborhood as Roy stepped out of his small town home. He stared out at the bare street for a few minutes contemplating what to do next. After a while, the redhead pulled out his phone. Dialing a number, he waited for the other person on the end to pick up.

The sun shone against the grass. Zack blinked slowly. The wind blew against his ears, and he looked at his hands. Small, petite. He sighed softly, and heard piano from the distance. Next to him, was a silhouette of a much older man. He sat next to Zack, and placed his hand on Zack’s head. He rubbed his hair, and mouthed a few words to him. Zack attempted to understand what he said. He picked Zack up and placed him on his lap. He spoke something to him, and placed his hands on Zack’s shoulders.

He then texted her in a sweet manner,"Hi there beautiful. I miss you already. How are you and the baby?" He then sent the text as he saw his room was empty and soon kids would start to enter at homeroom only to then hope that right now he would make sure everything is going to be okay. He then saw how that the principal came in asking if his brother is single only to tell him that he is single only to then see the principal go as he then grinned knowing how that maybe Sam might have a girlfriend here because of how the principal talked about this single teacher here. He then heard the phone vibrate happy that right now everything is going great as he knew that today was awesome because of how it started in peace as he ate his breakfast that he bought for himself. He then ate his crosandwich only to toss the wrapper away as well as the empty ketchup packets as he took a sip of his coffee only to then remember to make sure that they told them about the witch stuff since today would start with Medieval times and their dark days of magic and torture. He then got everything ready for home

“Make my bed.” Iris barks at me. “Why, and no.” I say back. “NOW!” Iris says almost knocking me over. I roll my eyes and walk over to her bed. She points her finger at a blue and silver duffle bag. I zip it open and pull out a pink ombre set of bed sheets. I make her bed in an instant, making sure her electric blanket is plugged in and, see I get a top bunk. I moan and pick up my heavy bags. Alicia walks up to me, then looks down at me.

"Get up honey, breakfast is ready." mom advises as she stands from my bed and smooths out her skirt, giveing me a thin smile as she slips out of my room. I rub my tired eyes, and sit up in my bed. A brown strand of hair falls in front of my eyes as I do so. Standing from my bed, I slide on my slippers and groggily walk to the bathroom. I grab my hair brush and pull my hair out of my face and into a loose ponytail.

Title The sunlight shining in through my window wakes me up. It illuminates the sunshine yellow walls, somehow making them an even brighter and warmer color. The room is a sunrise, giving a warm and cmforting welcome to each new day. I smile as I get up and tuck my blankets back into the sides of the bed. “Good morning Teddy!” I say kiss the top of my bears head and put him in his spot next to my pillow.

-- “Shit, shit, shit…” Kelsey mumbled to herself as she leaned against the wall of her room to put her other black stiletto on. She quickly zipped up her black dress, applied red lipstick and ran out the door. The warm night air brushed against her legs as she quickly walked to the bar downtown. She was on a mission tonight… and being late wasn’t part of the plan.

“Aw thanks dad, I really appreciate it, but in order to go to school I have to be clothed...” Riley awkwardly, but politely cajoled. Her dad exited her colorful room without unwillingness, so she wouldn’t start the morning off with an attitude like her identical twin brother, like Casey did when their dad wished him a happy birthday in his filthy room “to interrupt his sleep” as Casey would call it when he shouted at his dad. Like every morning, Riley gazed into the round mirror

‘I came over to make sure you got back okay,’ she said. ‘I was worried.’ ‘No need to worry about me,’ he said, acting all weird. ‘But Miss Lilly, what on earth happened to you?’ ‘I got back fine. I got to the airport and a girlfriend came and got me…I didn’t

No time to give my breakfast another try, it is what it is. I got to eat what I have. Aaht aahht bloooot. My best friend Alana is here. I better not forget anything and make it to her car in a next minute, or we will be late for school. Running to her car, I got distracted by a beautiful sunshine. My dad’s sparkly blue eyes appeared in front of me. I was remembering his words: “Darling, see this sunshine? As long as you are blessed to see it, you should be happy.” I am happy, dad. Alana caught me looking helpless while I was putting my faded orange tennis bag in her trunk. She knew what I needed, but couldn’t help me. She knew how much I appreciate my family’s sacrifice and how grateful I am for everything I have.”I am healthy, have great family and supportive friends, God by my side, and an opportunity to pursue my dreams of graduating from college and becoming a professional tennis player”, I would always say. Alana

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes” (Charles Spurgeon). To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, is a first person narrative recounting two years in the life of Scout Finch. The novel is about the personal growth, social justice, injustice and friendship. The core of the novel is the essentially concerned with the problems of prejudice and cultural bias in the 1930s. In life, everyone learns to walk in someone’s shoes before judging them.

The reflection Well it looks like this is where the third person perspective ends. This assignment itself wasn’t too hard it was just the thinking/remembering that was difficult. I personally had trouble remembering of a few of these things and had to ask my parents to refresh my memory just, so I could do this assignment. The third perspective way of writing this was a challenge though, I got really messed up quite a few times and after reading a page over realizing that I had written it in first perspective. I had decided not to use my picture on the cover but rather a turtle because turtles are cooler than all of us. But yeah, I chose a turtle because I have always admired turtles ever since the first time my parents took me to an aquarium.
