Point of View Quiz
In the space below, define each Point of View. Re-write the following brief scene (written in Second Person) in each of the Points of View (First Person, Third Person Omniscient, Third Person Limited Omniscient, Third Person Dramatic).

You walked into a burger joint and got in line. The line moved slowly. The air was warm and still, thick with burger grease and impatience. You remembered the very first burger you ever ate. Your grandmother had cooked it. She would never buy a burger from a burger joint, and she would never have waited in line as long as you already had, waiting and sweating, to buy something she could make for herself. You waited a moment more as the line inched ahead, remembering your grandmother’s burger. Then you left and bought a burrito from the taco stand around the corner. Your grandmother had never made a burrito for you before. The burrito was delicious.
