What I need to know

Point of view is a position from which something is considered or evaluated. In a

story, there will always be someone who would tell the story and know the
characters’ thoughts (Navarro, 2016).
Point of view is the angle where the story is told.
The writer’s choice of point of view sets the amount of information that a reader is
given. For example, if the story is written in first person point of view, the reader can
get inside the main character’s head. Thus, the reader is aware of all the thoughts and
feelings of the character.
A writer may also opt to shift points of view within his or her story. This is usually
done when the writer wishes to change the reader’s perspective throughout the story
(Castillo & Angeles, 2016).
Below are the different types of point of view
