The point of view in storytelling shapes our experience as readers. It determines how we "see" and "hear" the narrative. An author can choose from various perspectives: first-person invites intimacy, while third-person limited allows insight into one character’s thoughts, third-person objective reports observations without feelings, and third-person omniscient shares multiple characters’ insights. The second-person perspective addresses the reader directly, adding a unique layer of engagement. Understanding these perspectives helps us appreciate how authors craft their narratives.
