Passage A:

When the raft was made, I said the sayings for the dead and painted myself for death. My heart was cold as a frog and my knees like water, but the burning in my mind would not let me have peace. As I pushed the raft from the shore, I began my death song—I had the right. It was a fine song. "I am John, son of John," I sang. "My people are the Hill People. They are the men. I go into the Dead Places but I am not slain. I take the metal from the Dead Places but I am not blasted. I travel upon the god-roads and am not afraid. E-yah! I have killed the panther, I have killed the fawn! E-yah! I have come to the great river. No man has come there before. It is forbidden to go east, but I have gone, forbidden to go on the great river, but I am there. Open your hearts, you spirits, and hear my song. Now I go to the Place of the Gods, I shall not return. My body is painted for death and my limbs weak, but my heart is big as I go to the Place of the Gods!"With a first-person narrator, you see the story unfold through the eyes of one character. Think about how John reacts to other characters and the way he describes the story's events. Would a third-person omniscient narrator (a narrator who sees into the minds of all characters in a story) have presented a more compelling picture of the events in "By the Waters of Babylon"?

Choose either Passage A or Passage B and rewrite it as a 3rd Person Omniscient Narrator's Point of View.

Make sure you include all the details of the passage.
Make sure you use correct Grammar, Usage and Mechanics.
Make sure you use dialogue correctly and consider how changing the POV changes the perspective of the dialogue. (aka the dialogue itself will not change)
Then, answer these reflection questions: (answer in 1 or 2 complete sentences)

1. How did changing the Point of View affect your perspective of the character's development?

2. How did changing the Point of View affect your perspective of the theme?

Which excerpt from chapter 3 of the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde illustrates a character vs. character conflict? hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company. the large handsome face of dr. jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. “i do not care to hear more,” said he. “this is a matter i thought we had agreed to drop.” “my good utterson,” said the doctor, “this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and i cannot find words to you in. i believe you fully; i would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself.” but i do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if i am taken away, utterson, i wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him.”
