Add this one: Omniscient--writing from the third person point of view , in which the narrator knows the feelings and thoughts of every character in the story. To be omniscient is to know everything.

Example--A few creatures came and looked at them when the fire had died away. A fox passing through the wood on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed. “Hobbits!” he thought. “Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a Hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There’s something mighty queer behind this.” He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.

QW- Recounting events from omniscient view in Chapters 1 through 5. See handout. Finish for homework if not done in class.
