Point of View is the style of narration that an author uses to let the readers “hear” and
“see” in a story, poem, or essay.

Point of View has three major types namely: First person point of view (POV1), Second
person point of view (POV2), and the Third person point of view (POV3).

1. First person point of view (POV1) uses the pronouns “I” or “we” to express
personal perspective in a situation.
Examples:
I believe that discipline is the key to success. We should cooperate
with our authorities if we want to avoid or control the spread of the
virus in our community.

2. Second person Point of View (POV2) uses the pronoun “You” or “Your”–
the narrator talks to his reader and makes him part of the story. Communicating
with the reader builds a level of interaction that can strengthen a bond in the
story. There is also a strong sense of empathy in the reader as being part of the
story.
On the other hand, this is also the most limiting point of view, many
writers find it difficult because of its limitations. Second person pronouns “you,”
“your,” “yours,” “yourself,” or “yourselves” are used in this type of point of view.
This point of view commonly used in directions, technical writing, speeches,
and advertisements.
Example:
You believe that discipline is the key to success. You should
cooperate with our authorities if you want to avoid or control the
spread of the virus in your community.

3. Third person Point of View (POV3) uses the pronoun “he, him, himself,
she, hers, hers, herself, it. Its, itself, they, them, their, theirs, and themselves.
This point of view commonly used in stories and for speaking about other
characters.
Example:
They believe that discipline is the key to success. They should
