I went to the store yesterday to buy milk and bread.

As I hurried towards my apartment, I could hear my dog, Ringo, howling. “Oh no!” I thought. “Mr. Jenson is going to be so mad.” Mr. Jenson was the cranky man who lived next door and was always complaining to my mom. It seemed as if he were always knocking on our door to tell us to turn down our TV or walk more quietly. It didn’t matter how low we kept the TV or
how quietly we walked, he always seemed to be complaining. With Ringo making so much
noise, Mr. Jenson would finally have a real reason to complain.

Point of view where you know only one character's thoughts and feelings.

The point of view that uses the keyword "I'm."

You need to go to your grandma's house after school.

George loved walking to school with his best friend, Matt. They would laugh at their sisters and
make jokes about everything. Today, George had to walk to school alone, because Matt and
his family had moved to a different state. George looked sad as he quietly walked to school
alone.

Point of view where you know the thoughts and feelings of 2 or more characters.

The point of view that uses key words such as he, she, him, and her.

My favorite food is pizza.

If you are confused about something in class, don't wait. Raise your hand and ask for help immediately. Do it while your teacher is still explaining the material. Your teacher will probably be happy that you are taking an active part in your education and should attempt to explain the material in a different way. If you are still confused, ask your teacher if he or she is available after class to give you additional instruction. You are worth it. Don't give up on yourself.

Jeff wrapped his arms around himself and leaned into the wind as he ran. He was wearing a heavy winter coat, a hat, scarf, and gloves, but he was still shivering from the cold. He rubbed his arms as he ran down the street.

I was nervous when it was my turn in the spelling bee.

Jessica felt tired after she had ran her 5K race.

As you buckle your seat belt, safety instructions are broadcast over the inflight system. A stewardess
models the actions in sync with the broadcast. You turn to your right. An extremely rotund man is
snoring. He looks like he is about to fall onto your shoulder. You look to your left. You see a man with a
Mohawk is listening to loud punk music. You can hear it as though your were the one wearing headphones. You sigh and pull up your tray table as instructed.

The bell rang. "Oh no! I'm going to be late for science! I've got to go," said Cassie to her friend Tom. Tom rolled his eyes and said, "Little Miss Perfect can't be late." This upset Cassie. She hated when people gave her a hard time for trying to do the right thing, especially Tom. "Quiet you," she said while swinging at Tom with her folder. He narrowly dodged the strike and said, "Be careful now. Attacking another student is a level two offense." Then he smiled a big, cheesy grin at her.

You can see for miles from the top of Cadillac Mountain.

We went to the beach for summer vacation.

The dew on the grass made my running shoes damp. It didn't bother me. The sound of my feet hitting
the street formed a rhythm, a steady pattern of light thumps. I timed my breathing with the rhythm.
These sounds filled my head. I thought of nothing other than the next step and keeping my tempo. I
soared over the sidewalks like concrete clouds.

The sun was rising. Ivan saw the light piercing through the drawn curtains in his bedroom and knew
that he would have to get up soon. He hadn't been sleeping for the last hour. He had been thinking about
the future. He nudged his wife Nadia. Nadia came to slowly. She smiled, still thinking about the pleasant
dream that she had been having, until she looked at Ivan's face. She could tell that something was
wrong.

The parade marched down the street. It was led by a caped drummer. He set a stately pace and tapped
the accompanying rhythm. A marching band followed behind him, matching his pace. Behind the band
were floats of all sizes and designs. Children and adults were riding on the floats, tossing out penny
candies, streamers, and plastic prizes. The street was lined with people. The noises of revelry filled the
streets.
