Animal Farm Figurative Language
“Refers to the perspective from which a story is narrated/told.
The story can be from the first person ~~~ (“I saw…”)
or the third person ~~~ (“he saw…”),
or, less commonly, the second person ~~~ (““you saw…””).”
point of view
A type of narrative point of view in which the narrator is “all-seeing” and “all-knowing,” i.e. the narrator may occasionally access the consciousness of a few or many different characters.
third-person omniscient
A type of narrative point of view that follows the protagonist through the events of the plot and allows the reader to experience it alongside them. Unlike some other third-person narrative styles, this PoV doesn’t let the reader into everything that’s happening in the story—just what they can see and experience through the main viewpoint character.
third-person limited
“An account of connected events. Two writers describing the same set of events might craft very different ~~~s, depending on how they use different ~~~ elements, such as tone or point of view. For example, an account of the American Civil War written from the perspective of a white slaveowner would make for a very different ~~~ than if it were written from the perspective of a historian, or a former slave.
Some additional key details:
The words “”~~~”” and ““story”” are often used interchangeably, and with the casual meanings of the two terms that’s fine. However, technically speaking, the two terms have related but different meanings.
The word “”~~~”” is also frequently used as an adjective to describe something that tells a story, such as ~~~ poetry.
