Directions: Read the following passages and determine the narrative perspective, then explain how you were

1. Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar
Leslie sat in front of Paul. She had two long, brown pigtails that reached all the way down to her waist. Paul
saw those pigtails, and a terrible urge came over him. He wanted to pull a pigtail. He wanted to wrap his fist
around it, feel the hair between his fingers, and just yank. He thought it would be fun to tie the pigtails
together, or better yet, tie them to her chair. But most of all, he just wanted to pull one.
Narrative Perspective: Third-Person Limited
If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? Paul's thoughts are revealed.

2. Invitation to the Game by Monica Hughes
And we scrounged. Next to survival, scrounge was probably the most important word in our new vocabulary.
We found a store that was throwing out water-damaged mattresses. Getting them home was a problem, since
we had to make two trips, leaving Brad and Katie, armed with sticks to guard over the remained. I truly
expected them to be challenged by some gang boss, but they said that the only person who came by was a
scrawny little rat of a girl living alone. We let her have one of the mattresses.
Narrative Perspective: First-Person
If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? __________________________________

3. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
At dawn, Mae Tuck set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village of Treegap. She was going
there, as she did once every ten years, to meet her two sons, Miles and Jesse, and she was feeling at ease. At
noon time, Winnie Foster, whose family owned the Treegap wood, lost her patience at last and decided to
think about running away.
Narrative Perspective: Third-Person Omniscient
If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? Mae's and Winnie's thoughts are revealed.

  1. The Skull of Truth: A Magic Shop Book by Bruce Coville, Gary A. Lippincott To his astonishment, Charlie found himself standing next to his bicycle, back where he had entered the swamp. That was bizarre and upsetting�but not as bad as the realization that he was still holding the skull. He thought he had dropped it before he raced out the door.

  1. From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her back. She didn't like discomfort; therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere. To a large place, a comfortable place, an indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that's why she decided upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Narrative Perspective: Third-Person Limited If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? Claudia's thoughts are revealed.
  1. White Fang by Jack London They spoke no more until camp was made. Henry was bending over and adding ice to the bubbling pot of beans when he was startled by the sound of a sharp snarling cry of pain from among the dogs. Henry grunted with a tone that was not sympathy, and for a quarter of an hour they sat on in silence, Henry staring at the fire, and Bill at the circle of eyes that burned in the darkness just beyond the firelight. Narrative Perspective: Third-Person Objective If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? No character's thoughts are revealed.
  1. Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers, Mary Shepard They found themselves in bed and watching, by the dim light from the night-light, the rest of Mary Poppin's unpacking being performed. From the carpet bag she took out seven flannel nightgowns, four cotton ones, a pair of boots, a set of dominoes, two bathing-caps and a postcard album. Jane an Michael sat hugging themselves and watching. It was all so surprising that they could find nothing to say. But they knew, both of

them, that something strange and wonderful had happened at Number Sevennteen, Cherry-Tree Lane. Narrative Perspective: Third-Person Omniscient If it is third-person, which character's thoughts are revealed? Jane and Michael's thoughts are revealed.
