Point of view is the perspective from which a story is told. First person point of view is when a character in the story tells the story in the first person, using 'I' and 'me'. Second person point of view is when the story is told by the narrator, using 'you' Third-person point of view is when the story is told by an outside narrator, using words like 'he', 'she', and 'they'

The point of view in literature determines the perspective from which the story is told. For example, a first-person point of view is limited to the thoughts and experiences of one character, while a third-person point of view is more omniscient. In some works of literature, multiple points of view are used. This means that the story is told from more than one character’s perspective. The point of view in a piece of literature can be changed multiple times throughout the story. This is used to create suspense and surprise the reader.
