    Point of View

    The point of view of a story is the perspective from which the story is told.

    There are three main types:


    • First person
    • Second person
    • Third person
    First Person
    A character in the story tells the story from his or her point of view.

    You see the story 'through their eyes'.

    You will read words like 'I', 'we' or 'me' in the story.

    mother and I were taking a road trip to the beach. We
    had been planning it for months. She wanted to surprise
    me at first, but I figured it out.
    Second Person
    The narrator addresses you, the reader, in the text.

    This might be in an informative or ‘how-to’ writing piece.

    The author will use words like 'you', 'you'll', 'you're' and 'your‘ and ‘yours’.

    Point of View
    When an author begins writing a story, he/she will choose which point of view to
    tell the story from.

    This decision is based on the plot of the story and the information the author wants
    the reader to know.
