FIrst Person Point Of View !

‘Wonder’ - First Person point of view Last week, Rimu class has been working on a short essay explaining how R.J Palacio uses first person view. I think 'Wonder' is really interesting and it hooks you in. I hope you enjoy my essay!

Example 1:

First person point of view: “I know I’m not an ordinary ten year old kid.”(p.1)

Example 2: another example

Since I’ve never been to a real school before, I am pretty much totally petrified. (p.4)

Example 3: Here is Another example

My name is August, by the way. I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse. (p.1)

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the ____ person.

In the 1st sentence it show that R.J Palacio the story is using the first person’s point of view, because it says that August is speaking using Me, My, I and I’ve“ I know I’m not an ordinary ten year old kid.”

In the 4th page it shows that the first person is August because it’s using it’s first point of view “Since I’ve never been to a real school before, I am pretty much totally petrified.”

In the 3rd sentence which is another example.

“ My name is August, by the way. I won’t describe what I look like. Whatever you’re thinking, it’s probably worse.

This is why I think that R.J Palacio used first person’s point of view.
