First Person: The narrator says “I” when telling the story, as in “I want you to know that everything I tell you is true.” Anywhere But Here is written in this voice. In stories like this the narrator is a part of the events you are reading about. This type of perspective only gives us inside thoughts and views from one character. If the character is asleep during an important event, the reader only finds out about when she wakes up and someone tells her about it.
Third Person Omniscient: Omniscient means “all seeing”. The narrator is not part of the story but describes the events that happen to all the characters, as well as their thoughts. The narrator talks about the characters as “he” and “she” instead of “I”. The Westing Game is a story like this, even though some details are kept hidden for the sake of the mystery.
Third Person Limited Omniscient: A Limited Omniscient narrator can see all, but chooses to focus on a few things or people. In this type of perspective, the narrator is also not part of the story and can describe many events. However the story is mostly about one character’s experience. The Curses Of Third Uncle is like this. The Narrator uses the “he” and “she” pronouns, but mostly focusses on Lilian’s experiences.
