Based on the chart below,

which pronoun case is
The Stolen Party written
in?

Third Person Limited

Narrator is limited to one character.
Tells thoughts & feelings of one character
All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and
'she'. But, one character is closely followed throughout the story,
and it is typically a main character.
Unlike third-person omniscient, third-person limited only expresses the
viewpoint of a single character and no one elses thoughts are
known

Omniscient or Limited?
When the bus came, Sharon got on, carrying her pink backpack. It was
the first day of school, and Sharon was nervous. She smiled, though,
when she saw her best friend Kevin sitting in the back.

When the bus came, Sharon got on, carrying her pink backpack. It was
the first day of school, and Sharon was nervous. She smiled, though,
when she saw her best friend Kevin sitting in the back. Kevin was
nervous, too. So, he was thrilled to see Sharon. Maybe this day would
not be so bad after all.

You Try!
Read the two passages and
decide whether they are
written in third-person
limited or third-person
omniscient.

When you are finished,

complete the point of view
review

Thinking About Point of View

How might a third-person limited PoV impact how a
story is told?
How would the story have changed if we had known
another characters point of view?
For example, what would Rosauras mom have to
say?
What about Luciana or Senora Ines?

Constructed Response
Using the sentence guide, complete a constructed response for the
following prompt:
Analyze the authors purpose in using third person limited point
of view in The Stolen Party by Liliana Heker.
Make sure you include two direct quotes (with page #s) and have strong
reasoning to back up your claim. Refer back to the discussion questions
if you get stuck!
