 What is point of View?

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.
• A writer may 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.
