Thanksgiving Dinner

First-Person Narration from Brian’s Point of View
I had a very good thanksgiving. I went with my mentor to his sister house. When we got there, there was a big wooden door and my mentor open it and there was a water fountain and a fire place. When we enter there was a big flat screen t.v. and I couldn’t believe how big the house was. My mentor introduce me to everyone in his family. I was nervous because I didn’t know anyone it felt weird. After that they offered me something to drink and I said “yes”. When the food was ready we sat and a big table with big chairs like the ones in movies. We prayed and then we ate. I ate two plates and I was done.After that we ate desert. Then I watch the game and then left.
Third-Person Narration Focused on Mike
At the Jammer dinner Mike was taking pictures with Brandon. Marcos was hanging out with Bella. Jammer was walking around being shy. everyone was walking, laughing, and drinking soda. There was a man giving a speech about his live and what he did . Lots of people were interesting of what he was saying. After a while you could notice people were getting bored so he finished talking and then the dance group came out. People were cheering for the dancers. Everyone had a good time people went to sleep in the bus and went to bed late. Some people ate too much and got sick.
Narrator Expository Paragraph
A narrator can influence how much a reader understands how a character is feeling. For example in first person point of view you are the main character and you know the thoughts and feelings about the character. Third person limited point of view is where you know the thoughts and feelings about all the characters, you see what they see. The difference between them are, first person point of view is only one character and that the main one and knows his/her thoughts and feelings. Third person limited is where you know everything about all the characters in the book/movies. The third person limited is more credible because you know what every character thinks and might end up doing. Many readers enjoy reading stories written in first person point of view because it gives them more of a one on one experience with the character and makes them feel like they are in the story. I personally like first person better than third person limited.
