Third Person Limited: 

• Third person pronouns (they,  their, he, she) 
• Usually narrated by an outsider, someone who doesn't appear in the story

example of a third person limited perspective:

"Every night, before he went to sleep, Alfie Summerfield tried to remember how life had been before the war began.

-John Boyne. Stay where you are and then Leave.

A third person limited perspective 

means that we are limited (get it?) to a single character at a time. So, it’s like the first person perspective, 

but rather than a character speaking directly to us, the narrator is telling us what the character is doing, thinking and feeling.

All-knowing or omnicient

Third Person Omniscient: 

• Third person pronouns (they,  their, he, she) 
• Usually narrated by an outsider, someone who doesn't appear in the story
• Zooms out and tells the story of several characters, where the narrator is an all-knowing figure. 

All-knowing or omnicient

• You’re the reader, and the narrator gives you access to every character’s thoughts and feelings, at the same time.
  
•  The narrator has no preference for any single character. 
• They are aware of all events- past, present, and future
• The speaker will also know secret events or things that are hidden from the characters 

All-knowing or omnicient

Beni opened his closet door to grab a jacket, only to be greeted by a horrifying monster. He screamed and ran out of the room,

scared out of his mind. Inside her monster costume, Rita giggled. She had tricked her brother!

See how we can follow both Rita and Beni?
