Author's Point of View
Authors choose to tell stones from different points of view.
Point of view refers to the person who's telling the story.
A story told from a first-person point of view is told by a character in the
story. The reader learns that character's thoughts and feelings. Common
words to look for are /, me, my, mine, myself, we, our, and us.
Example: I wanted to learn to play the piano.
A story told from a third-person point of view is told by a narrator outside
the story. The reader learns many characters' thoughts and feelings.
Common words to look for are he, his, him, she, her, hers, they, them, and
their.
Example: She agreed to give piano lessons to the neighborhood
children.
