    1st Person

    1) I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year old kid. I mean, sure, I do


    ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an
    xbox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary- Wonder
    2) I shouldn’t have come to this party. I’m not sure I belong to this
    party - The Hate U Give.
    3) When I stepped out into the bright sunlight room the darkness of the
    movie house, I only had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and
    a ride home- The Outsiders
    4) If you can forget that it means someone just died, inheriting
    something is a good thing, isn’t it? A stroke of luck. Improved
    circumstances. But when it happened to us it had the opposite effect.
    Everything got a whole lot worse. Quickly. – 6 Impossible things.

    5) Foreign journalists frequently come to see me. I am wary of them,


    torn as I am between my desire to speak to them freely and the fear
    of putting weapons into the hands of interviewers whose attitude
    towards France I do not know- Night
    6) The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead
    for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our
    situation.- The Secret History
    7) When he was nearly thirteen my brother Jem got his arm badly
    broken at the elbow.- To kill a mocking bird
    8) If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably
    want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was
    like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me,
    and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like
    going into it, if you want to know the truth.- A Catcher in the rye

    3rd Person
    1) Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say
    that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were
    the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or
    mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense. –
    Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
    2) Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the
    bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peered into
    the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or
    conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice
    ‘without pictures or conversation?’- Alice in Wonderland
    3) Jarred stood unnoticed in the crowd thronging the great hall of
    palace. He leaned against the marble pillar, blinking with tiredness
    and confusion. It was midnight. He had been roused from his bed by
    shouts and bells- Deltora Quest
    4) In fairy tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks,
    and they ride on broomsticks. But this is not a fairy tale. This is
    about REAL witches. – The Witches
    5) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of
    wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it
    was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the
    season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of
    despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we
    were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other
    way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that
    some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for
    good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.- A
    tale of two cities
    6) Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its
    own way.- Anna Karenina 
    7) “We should start back,” Gared urged, as the woods began to grow
    dark around them. “The wildlings are dead.”- Game of Thrones
