 Point of view
- Point of view is the writer's way of deciding
who is telling the story to whom. The writers
use point of view to express the personal
emotions of either themselves or the characters.
Writers use point of view to express the
personal emotions of either themselves or their
characters. The point of view of a story is how
the writer wants to convey the experience to
the reader.
 First person point of view
- Uses the pronouns “I,” “me,” “we,”
and “us,” in order to tell a story from
the narrator's perspective. The
storyteller in a first-person narrative is
either the protagonist relaying their
experiences or a peripheral character
telling the protagonist's story.
 Second person point of view
- Uses the pronoun “you” to address
the reader. This narrative voice implies
that the reader is either the protagonist
or a character in the story and the
events are happening to them. This
point of view also uses the words “your”
and “yours”.
Limited and omniscient narration
- Aside from those three types, we also have
two kinds of narration. A narrator in first or
third person can be, first, limited and,
second, omniscient.
Limited and
Omniscient
narration
Limited narration
- Limited narration - The narrator only knows
what he/she experiences or learns about in
some way - the narrator's knowledge grows
as the story unfolds; at times, the reader
may know more than the narrator.
Omniscient narration
- The "all knowing" narrator knows all of the
details about events, characters, etc. and
reveals them to the reader as the story
unfolds.
 Using Different Points of View
What point of view you choose to use in writing
depends on how you want the story directed to the reader.
If you are telling a story from the writer's perspective, use
the first-person point of view to provide a sense of
intimacy. To direct the writing at the reader, say, for a
recipe or speech, use the second person as a way to separate
the writer from the narrative. To tell the story from an
outside perspective, with the ability to have an overview of
the piece, use the third person. Always be sure to be
consistent in your writing and stick with one point of view
throughout. This makes it easier for the reader to
understand your angle.
