I need help on how to write a story in 3rd person, single character view?

Question

does anyone know what this means? can you give me some examples to help me? thanks

Answer 1

First person writing: This is where the speaker expresses his views, as in "I ate the apple."

Second Person writings:, where the speaker speaks to another, as in "You ate the apple."

Third Person, where the speaker is speaking about another person, as in "She ate the apple."

Thus... when writing in the third person, the writer necessarily has to consider all characters in the story or plot. They can certainly be partial to the main protagonist, but the writer still has to write about the thoughts and feelings of the other characters as well.

In a sense, most examples of writing in the third person have well-developed stories and characters because all of them have their say in the plot. This type of writing adds to the effectiveness of the story.

In contrast, when writers choose to write from the first person point of view, they speak only from the viewpoint of the main protagonist. There is no way to know what the other characters are thinking. The protagonist could make a guess and they could toy with some ideas but they would still have to be a mind-reading psychic to his readers.

Answer 2

Third person, single character is using words like; he, his, she, hers, it, its, etc... Write the story like you are observing. An example would be: "He quietly strolled down the road to pick up the discarded can. As his eyes looked around the area he observed a discarded note." That was written in 3rd person singular. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Do you mean writing in third person but staying in one character's "head"? Like...

"He ran into Susan in the hall. She looked disshelved. What could have happened to her? She was also wearing a red shirt, and he couldn't fathom why. She glared at him."

This is very common. Something that helps you write better is to read more, and pay attention. Read some books/short stories and see how they do it. Heck, Harry Potter does this with Harry. :)

Answer 4

Third person it naming someone and followin them, this is having one charecter and just seeing her view so it would be like: Sarah Johnson was sitting in her spainish calss looking at the chalkboard. She was wondering what the heck Vosotros ment when David came up to her and sliiped a note in her binder.

Answer 5

Write it like your main character is re-telling a story about other people. You just don't say 'I', though.

Answer 6

Third person singular refers to "He/She/proper name"

examples:

He gave her a ring.
She helped him get home.
Denice bought Carrie a present.

A general reference for the persons and plurality:

1st person singular:
I/Me: I have to go home.
1st person plural:
We need to get a car.
2nd person singular:
You are a good person.
2nd person plural:
You are great people (in the English language there is no correct way to 'pluralize" you)
3rd person singular:
He/She/It/Proper noun
Kathy ate all her dinner.
3rd person plural:
They/proper nouns
They were wearing coats.

Answer 7

A suggestion for you would be....you are watching an event unfold through a crystal ball, or from heaven, or on TV...and you are telling your friend on the phone what is happening....good luck.

Answer 8

3rd person point of view means that the book is told by a narrator...for example

Jonny was so mad that he through a rock at his brother

see how it is told?

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 9

nicely i admire third individually oftentimes to ascertain what the different characters are feeling and not be prejudiced by the 1st man or woman. nonetheless if the e book is unquestionably written i admire examining it in 1st man or woman when you consider which you get to truly be the guy i assume.

Answer 10

You're just talking about someone. "Candice went to the mall but there was no one there. Not one of her friends was present. She went home, but no one was there, either." You're just talking about them instead of acting as if you are them.
