Let's jump right back into writing.
A narrative piece of text tells a...STORY!
The person telling the story is called the ... NARRATOR!
But here is where is gets fun, stories can be told by different points of view.
First Person Point of View
"This is when one of the characters in the story is narrating. It can be a main character or one of the minor characters. You can generally recognize first person narrative right away because the narrator uses the pronoun I." p. 67
Second Person Point of View
"This is when the narrator talks about "you" as the subject.[It] isn't used very much." p. 70-71
Third Person Point of View
Typically, third person point of view means the story is being told from a narrator, who is not a part the story.
