1. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining. Kevin and Juno were sitting on a park
bench together. Neither of them was smiling. After a long period of silence, Kevin said, "This
isn't going to work. I mean, you're a dog person and I'm a cat person." Juno nodded. A tear
rolled down her face. Kevin went on, "If we got married and bought a house, what kind of pet
would we get? Some kind of cat-dog? Somebody's going to be unhappy." Juno began sobbing
and said, "Ok, let's just end it now. Have fun with your slobbery dogs." She jumped off the
bench and ran into the woods.
Narrator's Perspective: Third Person Objective
Explain how you know: No thoughts or feelings

2. The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my
feet hitting the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing
with the rhythm. These sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next step and
keeping my tempo. I soared over the sidewalks like concrete clouds.
Narrator's Perspective: First Person
Explain how you know: Narrator tells the story and uses “I.”

3. Red looked across the prairie. He didn't see anything concerning. He wondered why Texas
Joe had hollered like that. Texas Joe turned to him. The ghost that Texas Joe had just seen was
gone. Texas Joe swatted at the air. Now he felt crazy. "You have to believe me, Red. It was just
here," said Texas Joe. Red scowled at him in disbelief. "What was just here, Joe?" he asked.
Red was angry with Texas Joe for disturbing his sleep for no apparent reason.
Narrator's Perspective: Third Person Omniscient
Explain how you know: The Narrator tells the nand he uses “He.”

4. If you are confused about something in class, don't wait. Raise your hand and ask for help
immediately. Do it while your teacher is still explaining the material. Your teacher will probably
be happy that you are taking an active part in your education and should attempt to explain the
material in a different way. If you are still confused, ask your teacher if he or she is available
after class to give you additional instruction. You are worth it. Don't give up on yourself.
Narrator's Perspective: Second Person
Explain how you know: It shows when to give instructions
