Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up point of view and perspective; point of view names the narrator's stance, while perspective describes a character's personal feelings about events in the story.
• Forgetting that we is still first person plural; if the narrator is part of the group acting, the story stays first person, not third person.
• Labeling every story with he or she as third person omniscient; if only one character's thoughts are shared, the point of view is third person limited.
