EVALUATE NARRATIVES BASED ON HOW THE AUTHOR DEVELOPED THE ELEMENTS
(THEME AND POINT OF VIEW)
Read: Understanding Narratives and its Elements
A narrative refers to a story or an account of something, dealing with
sequence of events and experiences, though not necessarily in strict order. It may
be factual or fictional, and can be expressed orally or in writing. (Harris and Hodges,
eds, 1995).
A narrative contains several elements, such as characterization, plot, and
setting, that all work together to construct the narrative’s theme.

The theme is the central message or idea of a narrative. It tells the reader
what the literary piece is all about. It is expressed through what the characters say,
do and think, and through the actions that take place within the story. The theme is
also revealed in how the plot and setting of the narrative are constructed and
presented.
Examples of themes include friendship, family, love, respect for others, helping
one another, world peace, equality, patriotism and nationalism, loyalty,
cooperation, determination to succeed, etc.

The point of view is the perspective from which a narrative is told. This also
refers to the mode of narration that authors employ to let the readers hear and see
what takes place in the story. Authors strategically choose the point of view that
allows them to most effectively develop the characters and tell the story. They may
choose to tell their story on three perspectives:
1. First person point of view involves the use of either of the two pronouns “I’’ and
“We”. In the first-person point of view, the narrator, who may also be a character,
participates in the action of the story.
Example: “I felt like I was flying above the clouds.’’
2. Second person point of view employs the pronoun “you”. In the second point of
view, the writer uses a narrative onlooker who is saying something about you, the
reader.
Example: “You went to school that morning.’’
3. Third person point of view uses pronouns like “he,’’ “she,’’ “it,’’ “they’’ or a name
of a character. In the third person point of view, the narrator does not participate in
the action of the story as one of the characters, but lets us know exactly what the
characters think, and how the characters act and feel. We learn about the
characters through this outside voice.
Example: Once, there lived a hen with her five chicks. The hen was as red as
beetroot. She had three friends: a duck, a cat, and a dog. They all lived happily.
Activity 1: Read the selection and answer the questions that follow. Encircle the
letter of the correct answer.
The Fox and the Grapes
Aesop
One afternoon a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of
grapes hanging from over a lofty branch.
“Just the thing to quench my thirst,’’ he thought.
Taking a few steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes.
Again, the fox took a few paces back and tried to reach them but still failed.
Finally, giving up, the fox turned up his nose and said, “They’re probably sour
anyway,’’ and proceeded to walk away.

Moral Lesson: It’s easy to despise what you cannot have. Nothing comes easy
without a hard work. So, work hard and reach your goals.
