  1. 2. The reader is experiencing everything through the perspective of the narrator.
  2. 3. Has access to all the actions and thoughts of all the characters and beyond. They can “head-hop” between characters and even share information about the world that none of the characters know.
  3. 5. Captures the continuous flow of thoughts, memories, and impressions that pass through a character’s mind, often without following the classic structure of a novel or a particular plot.
  4. 6. This narration style is closely tied together with limited narrators and can make readers question the validity of the narrator’s account.
  5. 8. The least common in fiction. This type of narrator uses “you” and speaks either to another character or breaks the fourth wall to speak to the reader directly.
Down
  1. 1. This type of narration focuses purely on observable actions and dialogue and is often referred to as a "camera-eye" perspective.
  2. 4. The narrator uses “he”, “she”, and “they”, and tells the story from afar, while still relating the personal experiences of the POV characters.
  3. 7. This format allows readers to experience the story through a single or multiple characters’ personal reflections.
