Summary
You can see by now how important point of view is in writing, for
each point of view creates a certain effect. Sometimes, it brings
the reader and the writer closer together; sometimes, it pushes
them apart. Sometimes, it makes an argument more convincing
through third-person objectivity; sometimes, an argument is more
convincing through second-person involvement; and sometimes,
it’s more convincing through first-person intimacy. Writers choose
their points of view carefully in order to create a certain

relationship both with their ideas and with the reader.
