Hi, guys.
Back on the old LMBs, some people would do little lessons for things. Some where for codes, others writing.
I was talking with Gnuehchcaz , and we eventually got to where he said he would like to help him with Character Development. I decided to do it where everyone who wanted to see, could.
I understand that some of you do not want to do a School Lesson, but this is actually important, I feel like. You are welcome to ignore this lesson if you feel like you have this down pretty good.
Although, they don't seem like they would be included in Character Developments, they are pretty important. Points of View are also good for setting the "Mood" and "Tone" of the story. Let me explain further:
There are Three Main Points of View: 1. First Person: This is told in the character's point of view. Words like "I" and "me" are used in this View. Example: "Zoey!" I jerk my head up off my desk. Dazed and confused, I look around trying to remember where I am. Mrs. Ponders is staring at me with absolute anger in her eyes, and all of the students are looking at me with concerned or blank eyes, curious as to how this would unfold. I look down to see a page of notes. Water is all over the paper, almost as if someone was drooling on it. My eyes go big as I look back up at the teacher. I had fallen asleep in class! Why use it? First person is a good for trying to get the Reader to "see" what the author is going through, and for them to see how they might relate to the Character.
2. Second Person: Although this View isn't used often, it is told with the word "You". I have seen this in books where you pick what action you do, and what leads to a different depending on that one choice you read. This may also be good if you're trying to do a mystery. I think there may have been some Goosebumps books are written like this. Example: "Zoey!" You jerk your head up and look around. Lots of eyes are turned on you. You look down at your paper and realize you have fallen asleep during class. Do you: 1) Apologize to the teacher and admit that you didn't get much sleep, or 2) Make a run for the open door, hoping you won't get caught? Why use it? Again, this isn't commonly used among normal stories, but is a good way to keep the Reader's Interest in the book, and how their decisions may affect the story. Minecraft Story Mode uses this point of view.
3. Third Person: This Point of View is really split up into two groups: Omniscient and Limited. In Third Person Omniscient, the Reader knows all the thoughts and feelings of all the characters, where as in Third Person Limited, the Reader doesn't know any thoughts and feelings. Example - Omniscient: "Zoey!" Zoey's head jerks up from the desk. What happened? she wonders as she looks among all the faces that are staring at her. Her friend, Max, looks at her with sympathy. Poor Zoey. Max thinks, Why did she do all of those Test Practice Questions last night? Example - Limited: "Zoey!" Zoey's head jerks up from the desk. She looks around, not yet realizing what had happened. She looks down at her paper, and back at her teacher. Zoey sits in her desk, awaiting her punishment. Why use these? We use this when we don't necessary want the Reader to be "Apart" of the story, unlike First Person. LordTigress's Book Roots of the Earth is a very good example of Third Person Omniscient and Third Person Limited, for some parts are telling the thoughts of the Characters Cole and Jay, where others don't touch the thoughts or feelings of Characters like the Villains.
That's all I got for now. I guess you are welcome to do an example of one of these points of views for Homework, if you would like the practice. (Just do like One paragraph).
This is an awesome idea, K66! Thanks for your contribution, can't wait to read more!

Thank you Helios. Is there anyway to change the tittle? I meant "Character Developments", but in my haste, did not look closer when I saw, and clicked, "Character Discerptions".
Those are really good examples, especially with all of the details that you're able to add in each point of view.
It was hard when I got to the 3rd Person Limited...
Feel free to do that homework.
It does seem a bit tricky since it's a little more objective.
I suppose I'll try First Person.
I stared at the computer screen, thinking of what to type. There were so many things I could think of, but each fleeting thought disappeared as the seconds ticked by. I checked the time. "2:00 AM," I said to myself. I had just come from a long day at school and chose to go on the LMBE to make posts so that they would be moderated in the morning, or at least I hoped they would. I quickly glanced down at the school notes on my desk and read "Bootstrap Effect." This gave me an idea of what to type . I typed "I stared at the computer screen, thinking of what to type...".

Thank you and that is the end of Lesson One.
Do you study English Language/English Literature? These are all great examples and I could have used this when in school...

1st reaction: *sees I was tagged somewhere by K66* Uh-oh. What'd I do this time?? 2nd reaction: Oh, cool, I'm clean. Woo. 3rd reaction: OH! This is so cool! What a great idea, K!! Surely a lot of users will appreciate this topic! 4th reaction: Oh, my bricks-- Wow, I never dreamed I would be used as an example in a writing class! Thanks, K. 5th reaction: Do I have homework to do, teacher?

Yes.
That was really good, Zach. I liked how you did the "Repeating Effect", I have no clue as to what that is really called.
I don't really know what else to say, but I want to put something, so I'll just smile.

I am currently in school, and my next English class will be next year. Thank you.

1st reaction: *sees I was tagged somewhere by K66* Uh-oh. What'd I do this time?? 2nd reaction: Oh, cool, I'm clean. Woo. 3rd reaction: OH! This is so cool! What a great idea, K!! Surely a lot of users will appreciate this topic! 4th reaction: Oh, my bricks-- Wow, I never dreamed I would be used as an example in a writing class! Thanks, K. 5th reaction: Do I have homework to do, teacher?
1. Nothing. I was just recommending your book again. 2. Why did you think you were in trouble. Yet again I think that if I'm tagged by a mod and don't know the situation. 3. Thank you, Tigress. 4. Your book seemed perfect. 5. If you want. I don't think you really need this, if I'm honest because of how amazing your story is. 6. Since when are you calling me by RomeNZ 's Nickname?

1. Ah, good. 2. I don't know!! You're no even a mod, so why would I think you'd be getting me in trouble or something?! I think a chill of dread is just insticive when I see I've been tagged somewhere. 3. You're welcome. 4. *no words* 5. Maybe if I get writing and video-making stuff out of the way first. 6. I dunno, "K66" just seems like a mouthful -- even though I'm not actually saying your name out loud. Would you rather I addressed you as K, or K66?
