Point of View of the Three Little Pigs

Point of View Paragraph

The point of view of "The Three Little Pigs is third person omniscient and occasionally first person. For instance, the narrator says things such as "he replied" and "they said" when describing the events that are occurring in the short story. In addition, the characters also say things such as "I am going to build" and "It will take me no time at all" when they are speaking. However, the narrator does not give the full "identity" of each of the characters, causing the readers to wonder what may be truly happening, which makes it third person omniscient. In contrast, the second short story entitled "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" is first person point of view throughout the entire story. The story is being told from the Wolf's perspective only, therefore making him an unreliable narrator because the reader doesn't truly know what is happening according to the other characters in the short story. The effect of first person point of view is that the reader may assume that the narrator is reliable, however that may not be the case. From watching "The Three Little Pigs" the reader is going to side with the three little pigs believing them to be the victims in the story, due to the narration of that particular story. On the other hand, from watching "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs", the reader is going to believe the Wolf is the victim due to the fact that he is the narrator telling his side of the story.
