In Chapters 1-3, we discussed the different meanings of “Point of View”. We first looked at the author’s point of view. First person tells the story through a character in the book; Second person places you in the story; Third person limited it told by a narrator through the eyes of one character; and Third person omniscient is the all-knowing narrator or “eye in the sky”.

We also looked at a character’s point of view. This time we’re talking about that person’s perspective, or the way they see things. In Frindle, Nick and Mrs. Granger have conflicting points of view when it comes to school.

Compare and contrast some of your points of view on school against those of your parents/guardians. Are there some things you agree on? What do you disagree on?
