More on Point of View

When a writer begins a new story, she must decide who will tell the story. Point of view is who tells the story, or the “voice” that the story is told in. It's the place from which a narrator sees and understands what is happening.

POV Rap Lyrics
1st, 2nd and 3rd Person Narration Every story has a narrator, and every narrator has a different point of view. Which point of view is yours? Let's go! Everybody wants to know my point of view, First person is me, second person is you. Third person is he, third person is she, Everybody wants to know my POV. Knock knock, who's there? Narrator? Narrator who? Narrator who's gonna tell a story from a point of view. Every story's written in a certain voice, When you're writing, you need to make a choice. First, second or third person POV, The first person is all about me, Or we, like: “We climbed up a tree, And I closed my eyes and felt the breeze.” I might be unreliable if I don't tell the truth, Now let's switch the point of view to you. In the second person, “You're in a taxi, You're wondering how you got there exactly.” The third person is he or she, “He walked down the street, and he saw the queen, She was dressed hip like it wasn't a thing,” That's the third person, take it from him. Third person narration could be objective, Omniscient or from a limited perspective. Can the narrator see in everyone's thoughts, Narrating omnisciently like a boss? Everybody wants to know my point of view, First person is me, second person is you. Third person is he, third person is she,
