What are the four types of perspectives?

Answer 1

Point of view can be:

• first person (I saw it!)
• second person (You turn left at the corner.)
• third person (He went to the store.)
• omniscient narrator--sees everything and knows character's thoughts, too.

Many different types of point of view can be created by the combination of:

person

tense

Omniscience and narrative intrusion

Person depends upon the type of pronoun used by the narrator to tell the story. Conceivably there can be as many of these employed as their are pronouns to exploit; however, most often only the first three of the singular types are used with second person being used very rarely. The use of any of the others is extremely rare and found only in experimental fiction.

Singular Plural

first person I we

second person you you all

third person he/she/it they

one everyone

body everybody

this these

that those.

Tense refers to the 'time tense' employed on the verbs. There can be as many of these used as there are time tenses to exploit.

present: John goes to the store and buys a quart of milk.

present perfect: John is going to the store and is going to buy a quart of milk.

present demonstrative: John does go to the store and does buy a quart of milk.

future tense: John will go to the store and will buy a quart of milk.

future perfect: John will be going to the store and will be buying a quart of milk.

past " John went to the store and bought a quart of milk.

.... and there are many more but I lost interest in listing them all.....

Omniscience is a measure of how intently the narrator is aware of the inner thoughts of the characters in the story.

full omniscience means the narrator is aware of the thought of all characters

Limited omniscience means the narrator knows the thoughts of only a limited number of character, most often just one.

Objective means the narrator is unaware of the inner thoughts of the characters.

Narrative intrusion is a measure of how much the narrator interacts with the reader.

intimate - Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed.

casual - Now the wild wood weed grows wild on the farm and we didn't give it....

detached - A sign post stands at the cross roads.

So picking and combining your particular selections you can come up with a large number of types.

Answer 3

Since this question is in the education category, I'm going to take it from a English/Language arts point of view.

In writing, there are four different types of perspectives.

1st person

2nd person

3rd person

3rd person omniscient (sorry if that's not spelled exactly correct)

1st person:

Often times associated with a diary, journal or narrative. Some examples of books written in first person (and are some of my favorites):

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif

Freak the Mighty

Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl

2nd person:

These are directions for setting up a bookshelf. They refer to everyone in the first person, have no opinion, and never refer to the author or themselves.

3rd person:

These often have a narrator. They can't into the minds of others and tell the story as if they are some watching camera footage of a robbery. There is little to no added commentary.

3rd person omniscient:

This is 3rd person, but they can see into the minds of others.
