8. Point of View In literature, every story is told from a point of view.
First-person - uses a narrator as the “I” or “me” telling the story;
Third-person - an author tells the story without a narrator, describing characters using “he” or “she”;
Third-person omniscient - an author captures the perspective of all the characters.
