This document discusses point of view in writing. It defines point of view as the perspective from which a story is told and how it influences the reader's understanding of characters. The three main types of point of view are first person, second person, and third person. First person uses pronouns like "I" and "me" and is told from the perspective of one character. Second person uses "you" and puts the reader in the role of the character, but it is not very popular. Third person is the most flexible and popular as it uses pronouns like "he" and "she" and can be limited to one character's perspective or omniscient.
