our assignment for homework was to take a nursery rhyme and make it a different point of view. in order to do that we were allowed to add in phrases to the rhyme any place we thought would sound good.
so i took Little Miss Muffet and tried to make it limited omniscient. could you check to see if this sounds like limited omniscient.
Little Miss Muffet was feeling hungry so she sat on a tuffet
and she began eating her curds and whey.
As she thought, "How delicious!",
there came a big spider,
who sat down beside her.
And frightened Miss Muffet away who thought, "How scary!"
(it doesn't have to rhyme)
That is definitely omniscient. You are saying what Miss Muffet is thinking.
would saying she felt hungry be limited omniscient?
In order to determine if your modified version of Little Miss Muffet sounds like a limited omniscient point of view, we need to understand what limited omniscient point of view is.
Limited omniscient point of view is a narrative perspective in which the story is told from the viewpoint of a single character, but the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters. This allows the reader to gain insight into the thoughts and emotions of different characters, creating a broader perspective.
Looking at your modified version:
"Little Miss Muffet was feeling hungry so she sat on a tuffet and she began eating her curds and whey.
As she thought, 'How delicious!', there came a big spider, who sat down beside her.
And frightened Miss Muffet away who thought, 'How scary!'"
From this passage, it seems like you have tried to incorporate elements of limited omniscient point of view. By mentioning Miss Muffet's thoughts and feelings while also including the spider's actions, the reader does get a glimpse into the perspectives of both characters. This adds depth and a broader understanding of the situation.
However, it's important to note that limited omniscient point of view usually involves a more in-depth exploration of multiple characters' thoughts and emotions, rather than just one additional character. So, in terms of being a true limited omniscient perspective, your modified version might be considered more of a blend between limited omniscient and third-person omniscient.
Nevertheless, the inclusion of Miss Muffet's thoughts along with the spider's actions does provide a different point of view compared to the original nursery rhyme, making it more interesting and engaging for the reader.
