Flashcard 8 - High School English II: Reading Flashcard Set for the STAAR test

The author is the person who wrote the text, while the narrator is a persona created by the author to tell a story.

Narration can happen in first-person, second-person, or third-person point of view, as selected by the author, who determines the most effective point of view from which to tell the story. Sometimes, the author and the narrator are the same person, though not always.
