William Pike Challenge

William Pike Challenge

2 or 3 weeks ago, Rimu made very yummy food for Meet the teacher with William Pike and Parents.
William Pike has a really cool story about his life! I was really looking forward to the surfing and I loved it. I think I might take up swimming and gym tumbling.

First Person Point of View



Last week, our writing task was to write a short essay about the book "Wonder". We had to find 2-3 examples about 1st person.


This story is written in the first person because at the start of the story when August is introducing himself he says,
“I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.”


Firstly, Palacio uses first person point of the view in the chapter ’Christopher’s House’. For example, 
”I was really bummed when Christopher moved away three years ago.”


This story is written in the first person because at the start of the story when August is introducing himself he says,
“I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.”


Furthermore, we can see how first person has been used in when Mum is telling the story about how I was born. For example,
“I like when Mom tells this story because it make me laugh so much.”


So ‘Wonder’ is written in the first person point of view.
