Point of View: 1st Person

This week we will be discussing and analyzing point of view, and then we will begin reading To Kill a Mockingbird. As in the passage from Eudora Welty's autobiography, To Kill a Mockingbird is narrated in first person with an adult looking back on childhood experiences. In this type of narration, memories from childhood are illuminated with an adult eye - the narrator can use childlike words and phrases and more sophisticated language simultaneously to enhance the story and give the viewpoint of both the child and the more mature person.

In this week's blog, tell the story of one of your earlist memories - try to think back ten or more years. Vary your narrative voice between that of tiny-you and that of the more sophisticated freshman in high school that you are now.

Your story should be at least two paragraphs in length.

Extra Credit Opportunity! 5 points. Include a photo in your blog that enhances the story you are telling.

Post due Friday, 10/23
