Second-person point of view, Third-person Omniscient and limited

Limited Third-Person point of view is similar to third-person point of view in that it uses he, she, they and them, but different in that this third-person narrator is not part of the story and cannot read any character’s minds.

Omniscient Third-Person point of view: This all-knowing, all-seeing point of view is almost always that of the author-narrator. Only the author knows all, sees all, and understands all. Only he or she can tell what each character thinks, knows, and feels.

Second-Person
point of view – which uses the pronoun you - is not used often. It’s difficult to sustain for any length of time and makes for difficult reading. However, it is a great point of view for the right piece.
