Change narrator is the one who tells the story. There are two main types of narrators:
the Point first person and third person.
of View: In first person narrations, the narrator is usually a main character and uses I and
me. The reader learns a great deal about the narrator by reading the narrator’s
Third thoughts and actions.
Person In third person narrations, the narrator is not a main character and uses she, he,
to First they or it. The words I and me are used only in dialog. The reader may learn a little
about the narrator, but learns much more about the characters.
Person
Below is a passage from The Call of the Wild by Jack London. It is a story about a dog, Buck, who is part St.
Bernard and part collie. At the beginning of the book, Buck is owned by Judge Miller, who lives on a large
estate in California. He is a special dog among the many on the estate. The passage mentions Toots and
Ysabel, who are two small house dogs.
The passage is a third person narration. Rewrite the passage from Buck’s point of view, changing it to a first
person narration. Be sure to use your own words.
But Buck was neither house-dog nor kennel-dog. The whole realm was his. He plunged into the
swimming tank or went hunting with the Judge’s sons; he escorted Mollie and Alice, the Judge’s
daughters, on long twilight or early morning rambles; on wintry nights he lay at the Judge’s feet before
the roaring library fire; he carried the Judge’s grandsons on his back, or rolled them in the grass, and
guarded their footsteps through wild adventures down to the fountain in the stable yard, and even
beyond, where the paddocks were, and the berry patches. Among the terriers he stalked imperiously, and
Toots and Ysabel he utterly ignored, for he was king,—king over all creeping, crawling, flying things of
Judge Miller’s place, humans included.
