Kinds of Point-of-view:
First person

First Person
The narrator is a character in the story who can reveal only personal
thoughts and feelings and what he or she sees and is told by other
characters.
In first person point of view, one of the story’s characters is narrating the
literary work.
This viewpoint is indicated by the use of first person pronouns, including “I,”
and the reader assumes that the character is close to the story’s action.
First person narrative voice provides the reader an intimate and close look
into a character’s thoughts, but the perspective of the story is limited by
what the character is able to see and know.
Second Person
Narrator addresses the reader directly as though she is part of the story.
(i.e. “You walk into your bedroom. You see clutter everywhere and…”)
Second person point of view utilizes the pronoun “you” to address the reader
and bring them into the action of the story.
The narrator is an outsider who sees into the mind of one of the
characters.
