Narrator Point of View

In this activity, students will examine the author’s point of view and make inferences based on details from the text.

• Example 1: “‘Come right!’ I was so excited I was almost shouting, even though the two others with me inside Alvin were so close I could touch them.”
• Example 2: “I felt as though I had walked into a dream.”
• Example 3: “I was already impatient to return to the Titanic.”

2. Select at least three examples from the text that show the feelings or desires of the narrator.
3. Illustrate these examples by drawing on inferences from the text.
