POINT OF VIEW
It is the angle by which a story is told. It shows what
the narrator who is telling the story can see (his or
her point of view).

There are three main types of point of view: First-


Person Point of View, Second-Person Point of View,
and Third-Person Point of View.
first person Point of view

A story using first-person point of view is


written as if it is being told by a character
in the story and uses pronouns such as
“I”, “we”, and “me” and other personal
pronouns in the first person.
EXAMPLE
“I got up…, I saw small houses…, and I heard my
mother calling me”
second person Point of view
A story told from the second-person point of
view puts the reader in the action by using
the pronouns “you” and “your” which are
pronouns in the second person.

The narrator of the story is not a character in


the story but is talking to or describing a
character in the story who is the one acting.
EXAMPLE
In the second scenario entitled “Listener,” the story is not
narrated by Facundo anymore, but by someone who is
talking to Facundo describing to him his actions and the
situation. The sentence “You see that a huge wave is
coming across the hill,” is one example in which somebody
is describing Facundo’s actions while Facundo becomes
the listener to what this narrator tells.
Third person Point of view
Stories written in the third-person point of view, on the
other hand, also have a narrator who is not part of the
story. Here, the narrator is an observer who tells the story
from the outside. Pronouns such as “he”, “she,” and
“they” and other personal pronouns in the third person
are used in this type of point of view. This narrator can
tell the story as if he were an invisible observer.
EXAMPLE
Facundo’s current physical condition and actions
saying, “Feeling sleepy and dizzy, he got up to check
from his window what it was about,” even though
nobody else is inside Facundo’s room.
