Today get into your reading groups (see earlier post). Together as a group, read the stories: All Girl Band, The Colonel, Vision out of the Corner of One Eye, I Didn't Do That, the Barbie Birthday, and Map of the Lost World.
Your draft one of exercise 8.2 asked you to create a distinct voice for a first person POV story. Discuss how each story tries to accomplish this. Additionally, look for the use of dialogue. How much dialogue is used and when is it most powerful? This will vary from story to story. Try to identify the different speaker tags as well. You should be able to name each one.
Once you have finished reading these stories, post a comment about what you learned about 1st person POV stories on our Forum.
Then work on draft 2 of the 8.2 exercise. Go on to exercise 8.3 if you are finished with the second draft.

I learned that in the first person point of view, the main character expresses their self more in the story. You are able to get more in the mind of your character because it is based on you.
You get to delve into their thoughts in a more personal way, the reader may feel closer to the character, as though they are being confided in.
The 5 stories that we have read the first person point of view was confused at what they were doing , i acually liked the Vision Out Of tHE corner Of One Eye
I didn't really learn anything, to be honest. I mean, I've been alive on this earth for fifteen years I've read a lot of first person books. Sooo...
