First-person point of view

 When the narrator is one of the characters

and calls himself or herself “I.”
 This point of view often helps readers identify
with the narrator.
Second-person point of view

 When the story is written as if the reader is

one of the characters and is the “you”
referred to in the story.
Third-person point of view

 When the narrator is a storyteller who isn’t part of the

story.
 A limited third-person narrator reveals the thoughts
and feelings of only one character. It’s as if the
storyteller is perched on one character’s shoulders
and can see inside the character’s head.
 An omniscient (all knowing) third person narrator
reveals the thoughts and feelings of several
characters. It’s as if the story teller can fly around,
seeing what goes on everywhere, and looking into
several characters’ minds.
