Point of View

Point of view (POV) in a story is the perspective


from which the story is told. It answers the
question, "Who is telling the story?" The point of
view shapes how readers experience the events
and characters in the story, based on who the
narrator is and how much they know.
Point of View
• Here are the types of point of view (POV)
explained simply:
1. First Person: The story is told by a character in
the story, using "I" or "we."
• Example: "I walked through the forest."
2. Second Person: The story talks directly to you,
using "you." It's less common in stories.
• Example: "You walk through the forest."
3. Third Person Limited: The story is told by someone
outside, but they only know what one character is thinking
or feeling.
• Example: "She walked through the forest, feeling scared."
4. Third Person Omniscient: The story is told by someone
who knows what all the characters are thinking and feeling.
• Example: "She walked through the forest, unaware that
someone was following her."
5. Third Person Objective: The story is told by someone who
only describes what happens without knowing anyone’s
thoughts or feelings.
• Example: "She walked through the forest as the wind blew."
