The three points of view

In this blog post i will exlain what are the three points of views that can be used for writing a story

First person point of view: The first person point of view is used when the writer gives us a perspective from a single character. This story would usually use 'I' instead of a name. It is often used when the writer wants to decribe the feelings of a character more deeply. it can also be used when the writer wants to write a biased story from the main character's perspective. An example of such a story would be the book titled "The Great Gatsby".

Second Person point of view: The second point of view is when the writer wants to bring the reader into focus. this point of view would use 'you'. i think that this point of view is most often found in instructional books such as manuals and cookbooks when the writer is directing and instructing the reader on how to do a certain thing.

Third person point of view: This point of view is when the writer does not want to stick to just one chracter and wants to be able to shift to the perspective of other chracters. This point of view woud use words such as 'he, she , her , him'. Most book use the third person point of view to be able to how what is going on from different chracters perspective. An example of this is the book 'The Gates Of Rome' where during the battle between Marius Caesar and Sulla the perspective sometimes shifted from one army commander to the other to show how the fight was affecting people in Rome and how the army in Rome felt as well as to how what was going on outside of Rome.
