1. Point of View

2. NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW The point of view in a piece of literary work refers to the narrator’s position to the story being told.

3. FIRST PERSON The story is relayed by a narrator who is also a character within the story The narrator reveals the plot referring to this viewpoint character as “I” (or, when plural, “we”). Oftentimes, the first-person narrative is used as a way to directly convey the deeply internal, unspoken thoughts of the narrator Frequently the narrator’s story revolves around him/herself as the protagonist and allows this protagonist/narrator character’s inner thoughts to be conveyed openly to the audience, even if not to any of the other characters.

4. SECOND PERSON This is the most rare point of view in literature. The narrator refers to one of the characters as "you", therefore making the audience member feel as if he or she is a character within the story.

5. THIRD PERSON Third-person narration provides the greatest flexibility to the author and thus is the most commonly used narrative mode in literature. Each and every character is referred to by the narrator as "he", "she", "it” In third-person narrative, it is obvious that the narrator be merely an unspecified entity or uninvolved person that conveys the story, but not a character of any kind within the story being told
