Point of View
The Four Types of Point of View
Here are the four primary POV types in fiction:
- First person point of view. First person is when “I” am telling the story. The character is in the story, relating his or her experiences directly.
- Second person point of view. The story is told to “you.” This POV is not common in fiction, but it’s still good to know (it is common in nonfiction).
- Third person point of view, limited. The story is about “he” or “she.” This is the most common point of view in commercial fiction. The narrator is outside of the story and relating the experiences of a character.
- Third person point of view, omniscient. The story is still about “he” or “she,” but the narrator has full access to the thoughts and experiences of all characters in the story.

ReplyDeletePage one: But I was named for a stone that sharpens a knife.
It is first person point of view because the main character is narrating the story through her eyes. On the first page she said "My name is Olemaun Pokiak".
ReplyDeleteFirst point of view because she guides the book with her point of view. She said in the fist or second page “my own mother does not recognize me”
