Day 9 Assignment 9: Point of View types. First person, Third person limited or third person Omniscient.

Alright so the book says to try this exercise using one of the POVs that you created yesterday…so I’m going to use Aaron’s POV. First person, Third Person L, and Third Person O.

Third Person Limited: He cleaned the dishes off the tables, letting his mind wander as he worked. It had been a long hard day, and Angie had not made it any better. I wish she would stop hitting on me…I don’t like her at all. Suddenly a tall angry man burst through the doors of the diner and stomped over to Aaron. He started yelling and coming closer to his face. Flustered and surprised Aaron stepped back but his feet hit the booth knocking him off balance. He fell into the booth and stared up at the man.

First Person: I cleaned the dishes off the table letting my mind wander as I worked. It had been a long hard day, and Angie had not made it any better. I wish she would stop hitting on me…I don’t even like her, not to mention I’m not even nice to her. Suddenly a man stormed into the diner and headed straight for me. He started yelling and accusing me of something. Confused and taken off guard I tried to take a step back but I lost my balance as my feet hit the booth. I fell embarrassingly into the booth and stared up at the man’s surprised and angry face.

Third Person Omniscient: ...nope. the book cannot be written this way. ;)

Okay so I’ve tried to write the omniscient view three or four times now, and I hate all of them. I’m not even going to post it. I already knew that this story had to be told in either first person or third person-limited. It is Aaron's personal story, and it wouldn't make sense to have it randomly be from another character's point of view.
