UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW IN NARRATION
Points of view in narration serve as a bridge between the reader and the characters, providing a specific perspective for the story’s events. There are three primary types of viewpoints: second person, first person, and third person.
Second Person:
This unusual narrative style employs ‘you’ or ‘your’ pronouns. The narrator may be an observer or involved in the story.
First Person:
The narrator, often the main character, uses ‘I’, ‘me’, or ‘my’ pronouns. This viewpoint brings the reader closer to the protagonist and personalizes the story.
Third Person:
Using ‘they’, ‘them’, ‘he/she’, or ‘his/hers’ pronouns, this viewpoint creates a distance between the reader and the narrator. It can be limited or all-knowing (omniscient).

At dusk, you might glimpse bats, like the Common Pipistrelle, hunting insects. Other common sightings include Dragonflies and various fish species such as Pike, Roach, and Carp.
Amphibians like Frogs and Toads are frequently found near canals.
Bird species like the Crested Grebe and Canada Goose are also common visitors. Keep an eye out for Rabbits around dawn and dusk.
Nocturnal and shy animals like Badgers, Foxes, and Hedgehogs can occasionally be spotted.
Many species of Butterflies and Shrews are also common during the warmer months.
Songbirds like blackbirds, robins, and wrens can be heard and seen along the canal, as can Bumblebees during spring and summer. Although elusive, Otters have been making a comeback in UK waterways. You might also see different duck species other than Mallards.
