1) First person - Writer puts himself in the shoes of the main character and uses the word 'I' throughout the story.
2) Second person - Writer adopts the use of 'you' throughout the story where the feelings and emotions are decided by the reader's view of the matter.
3) Third person - Writer is basically a puppeteer controlling all the characters, their emotions, actions and thoughts are free to be shared.
1. Omniscient - Knows everything that is going on, and able to show the feelings, emotions and thoughts of any character the writers wants to talk about.
2. Limited Omniscient - Only able to access the thoughts of a specific character, usually the protagonist, and allows the readers to ask questions about the rest of the characters.
3. Objective - Tells a story based on what is happening and never goes into characters in depth to describe their thoughts or feelings.
From the short video clip on Dead Poets Society:
Headmaster: Glad to see the students in the hall behave in a respectful and orderly manner which showcases the practice of the school motto of 'Vision, Honour, Discipline, Excellence'. This will give the new students a good impression of what the school will hope to achieve in them for the next few years. Also, after this ceremony, the parents should be assured of their children's well-being in this school, allowing them to stay in the school hostel.
Teacher(Mr. John Keating): I am honoured to step into this school, just look at the grandeur of the school compound! The students look ready to uphold their school motto of 'Vision, Honour, Discipline, Excellence', and this will make my teaching very much easier. The new students look pleasant enough to give me a good teaching experience in this new school, compared to my previous school, Chester School. I guess I can't choose my pupils, so I will just cross my fingers and wish for the best.
I felt that you made a very good description of the feelings of the characters in the video. I too agree that the teachers should be proud to be teaching in such a prestigious school.
