This document discusses how the perspective or point of view used in writing can change the way a story or information is conveyed. It outlines the key differences between first, second, and third person points of view. First person uses I and we and allows readers to feel immediacy. Second person addresses the reader directly as you. Third person uses he, she, it and they and allows the writer to remain removed from the story or information presented. Examples of each type of point of view are given from well-known literary works.
