What is Point of View?
Point of view refers to who is telling or narrating a story. A story can be told from the first person, second person or third person point of view (POV). Writers use POV to express the personal emotions of either themselves or their characters. The POV of a story is how the writer wants to convey the experience to the reader. Reviewing point of view examples for each type is a great way to understand the different approaches.
