First - Person Narration from Andrew’s Point of View
I woke up with a smile on my face because i knew today some of the San Pasqual students were going to the Jammer Dinner and I was one of them. I was more then  existed, I got up from my bed and took a shower, brushed my teeth before i started school. I went to my first class and I already wanted school to be over I went throw my day thinking about how much fun it was going to be, I was more existed because of all the food that there were going to be and how I’m going to pig out. school went by slow by my day was almost over. We has 10 seconds before school was over I was counting down till I hared the bell ring. The moment the bell rang I ran to my house to get everything ready.

Third-Person Limited Narrator
It was five o’clock when I started to board the bus that would take everyone to a place called the Hall of champions for the thanksgiving dinner. the bus i was one was completely packed with students that were dressed nice and some were dressed casual.On the way there i was listening to music and thinking about what I'm going to do when i get there. It took us about an hour to get to the Hall of Champions because it was all the way in San Diego, but when we got there you could tell there was a lot of people attending the dinner because there were a lot of cars in the parking lot, and there were a lot of people in the doorway of the big building.
When the adults gave us permission to get off the bus I got up and waited patiently till it was my turn to get of the bus so i could stretch out my legs because my legs were starting too lose feeling in them. when everyone was off the bus i started to walk in to the building when i had to stop because everyone was told to be seated and then we could walk around. while everyone was walking around I sat down at my table and watched as everybody was roaming around. everyone was wondering around for a good half an hour when they were told to be seated so Alicia and Quentin Jammer can give a quick announcement then we could get our food. After the Jammer family finished with their announcement i got my food and sat back down at my table where I got to eat. while i was eating a man went up to the podium where he gave a brief story on his life and a demonstration on what he does for a living which i thought was pretty cool.

When everyone was done eating we were told that there were going to be kids preforming a dance performance before we leave so i started to move my seat in front of the crowd so I could see the show better. after their dance performance was over everyone got to take a picture with the friends of San Pasqual, and the Jammer Foundation. when we were done with the pictures i was told that everyone was getting on the bus so I decided to walk balk to the bus so we could go back to our campus. overall it was a good thanks giving dinner.

Narrator Expository Paragraph
A narrator can influence how much a reader understands the story and get a clear picture of the story.For example, in first-person narration the narrator tells the story from one characters point of view and says how the character feels. But in third-person limited/omniscient narration the narrator tells the story from all points of view so the readers know what the characters are feeling and thinking. The difference is that in first person the narrator tells the story from one characters point of view and only tells the reader how that one character feels like, and in third person narration the narrator tells the story from all characters point of view and tells the readers what all the characters are feeling and thinking.The third-person limited narrator/omniscient is more credible because the story is told from all characters point of view so the readers can know what the characters are feeling and what they are thinking. Many reader enjoy reading stories written using first person narration because the whole story is told from one characters point of view and tells the readers how only one character feels and what one character thinks...

Biographical Narrative


Phil
On our campus we got a new staff who use to play in the NFL his name is Phil and if you think about it you will know who he is because he stands out because he is a big guy. He started working here a couple of weeks ago after being a NFL player who was on a couple of teams like the San Diego Charger, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Cleveland Browns. A lot of people are drawn to Phil because his past career but if you talk to him about something else like why he chose to work here instead of playing football he will talk to you and tell you that he wanted to work with kids and that he cares a lot about us.
It was a calm Monday night I was wrestling with the other staff during study hour because I wanted to take a break from studying and I had a lot of energy and Phil didn’t say anything because he was watching TV. After a while he told me if I didn’t do my study hour my homework wouldn’t get finished and I would have to study longer. For a while I thought about it and he was right so I stopped messing around and finished my homework .After I was done I started wrestling again because I got all my work done and wouldn’t have to worry about it later.
Thursday night the breeze felt good and you could smell the citric in the air. I was wondering out front of campus because the weather felt good but I was not checking in with my house. So as I got to the boys Rec Phil stopped me and said that I need to check in with my staff once in a while because they are looking for me and if I didn’t was going to be on restriction the next day, he also said that he doesn’t want me to be on restriction especial on a Friday because I could be speeding time with my friends instead of being in the house because I wasn’t checking in with my staff. So after he told me that I thought to myself that he was right because on Friday nights I could be outside doing fun stuff with my friends instead of being bored in my house because I chose to not check in. so listened to him and checked in the whole time and I got to stay out on Friday.
On a crazy Friday night I was in my house being irritating and messing around because I was mad and didn’t want to listen to the staff that was in my house. So my staff had Phil come in and calm me down because I was throwing a football in the house, jumping off the couches and changing the channel when people were trying to watch TV. So Phil came in my house and he told me that if I didn’t calm down I would be on restriction, So I decided to calm down until it was time to go outside because I didn’t want to give him a hard time and he was one of the staff I think is pretty cool.
Phil’s careness has helped me to be a better and more mature person because I noticed that my actions can impact on the things my house wants to do for a fun activity, like go to the gym or go on an outing. If Phil didn’t care for me or the whole house we wouldn’t be able to do family night with other houses or go on outings as a house.

"The Storyteller" Another Point of View

I was sitting on the train on my way to temple calm station and in the both next tom me I saw what looks to be a mother with her three children but that wasn’t the mother it was their aunt. the kids were giving their aunt a hard time because they were singing, smacking the seat making dust to come out the seat, and running around. So I just stood there and listened to their try and calm them down by telling them a story. When she started telling the story the kids went straight into asking questions like they were trying to get her mad and it was kind of funny but she answered them and started again and was interrupted by more questions. Finally I got tired of the interruptions so I decided to tell the aunt that she was a bad story teller and she told me to try and tell them a story so I did. As I sat on the seat with the kids I told them a story about a girl named bertha and she was a very good girl but her goodness got her eaten by a wolf in the prince’s palace. After the story the aunt tried to say I was a bad story teller and I said at least I kept them quiet for ten minutes and then I got off the train.

The Storyteller" Before You Read: Memorable Books from My Childhood

My top five books I read when I was little were Goodnight Moon by Margeret Wise Brown, Gree eggs and ham By Dr. Seuss, Little mouse by jeff smith, If you gave a mouse a cookie by felicia Bond, and the giving tree by Shel silverstine. The book i like the most is Green eggs and ham by dr. seuss because every where the character the other character would ask if he wanted to try green eggs and ham no matter where he was at because he really wanted him to try it. so when the other character got tierd of getting asked if he wanted green ggs and ham he decides to try it and is suprised because he likes the green eggs and ham
