Point of View

This is the place from which, or way in which, something is viewed. Semantically, that means that there can be three points of view: my point of view, your point of view, and other people’s points of view. These are generally referred to as first-person, second-person, and third person points of view. Within the third-person pov, however, short-story writers recognise three distinct perspectives: third-person, limited third-person, and omniscient (god-like) third-person.
