LEARNING CONCEPT
Subject and Theme

Theme has something to do with your view of the world, how you see things, how you want things to
be, how you color the world that you see.

Point of View (POV), or perspective, is the angle, the perception, the position that you take to tell
your story.

Two of the most common POV techniques are the first person POV, wherein the story is told by the
narrator from his or her point of view; and the third person POV, wherein the narrator does not
appear in the events of the story, but rather tells the story by referring to all characters and places in
the third person using third person pronouns and proper nouns. Seldom used, but equally valid, is the
second person POV.

The first person POV can still be divided into two angles:

1. The objective first person wherein the story is narrated by a fictional character who plays a
minor part in the story or isn’t present in the story at all.

2. The subjective first person wherein the first person narrator is the main character or one of
the main characters, in the story.

The third person POV can also be divided into three perspectives:

1. The omniscient third person wherein the narrator sees, knows, and usually reveals
everything about the characters in the story.

2. The objective third person wherein the narration simply describes what the characters do
and say without giving the readers access to their thoughts.
3. The close third person, a.k.a. limited third person or free indirect discourse, wherein the
narration uses third person pronouns, and like the omniscient, it gets inside the minds of the
characters, but the whole story is generally told from the point of view of only one character.
