- Compare and Contrast Point of View
- The point of view in a story is who is telling the story, or whose thoughts and feelings are shown.
Sometimes, the narrator’s point of view is different from a character’s. Often, different characters think about the same idea or event differently. Comparing and contrasting their points of view tells you more about the characters.
When you read a passage, look for what the main character is thinking or feeling. If you do not know, read the passage again and ask yourself if those thoughts and feelings are shown in the text. Look for the ways in which the characters’ points of view are similar or different.
