Definition in your own "student friendly" words: First person is when the narrator is a character in the story and the reader understands his/her thoughts. The key word is when the narrator uses "I". Third person is when the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of 1 (third limited) or many (third omniscient) characters in the book. Key words are "He", "She", "It, and "They".

2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: Not only does this example represent a memorable and important day in America's history, but it also shows a perfect example of first person point of view. Martin Luther King Jr embodies all the parts of the definition, including his own voice, feelings and ideas, exerting himself as the main character by using the word "I" continuously.

2-3 sentence explanation of why it is a good example: The Help movie trailer, based on the book is a perfect example for third person point of view. The author/producer enters the thoughts and feelings of all the main characters and shows the main topic from the point of view of all the characters. Not only does the author use key words such as "They, He, She and It" but she also connects the reader to each specific individual character through their point of view and own personal situations.

Definition in your own "student friendly" words: Authors use first person when the narrator is a character in the text and the entire text is told from this character's perspective. First person is generally associated with the word, "I." Third person limited point of view is told from the perspective of a single character in the text, and the narrator does not know anything more than this character knows. Third person omniscient point of view is told from the perspective of an "all-knowing" narrator who knows the thoughts and feelings of every character in the text. Third person point of view uses the words, "he/she."

__Moby Dick__, by Herman Melville, is narrated in the first person point of view. A young sailor named Ishmael narrates the entire story from his own perspective, referring to himself and using the words, "me" and "I" often. He is free to express his own thoughts, but readers do not know any additional information about other characters in the novel besides the account that Ishmael gives. His account may be biased or inaccurate, because first person allows readers to see only the perspective of the character who narrates the tale.

Jane Austen's __Pride and Prejudice__ is told in the third person omniscient point of view. Forms of the word "I" are only found in quotations, because the narrator is not a character in the text. Although the narrator focuses most directly on Elizabeth Bennett's thoughts and ideas, the author acknowledges other characters' feelings as well, portraying him/herself as a knowledgeable narrator who fully understands all the characters.
