Author’s
Point
of
View
An
author’s
point
of
view
refers
to
the
perspective
from
which
a
story
is
being
told…simply,
it
is
WHO
is
telling
the
story.
First
Person
When
an
author
chooses
to
tell
a
story
in
the
first
person,
the
story
is
told
by
a
character
IN
the
story.
Common
words
used
when
writing
in
first
person:
I,
me,
my,
myself
When
writing
in
the
first
person,
the
character
telling
the
story
only
knows
about
the
other
character’s
thoughts
and
actions
as
they
are
revealed
during
the
story.
The
character
telling
the
story
finds
out
about
the
other
characters
in
the
story
at
the
same
time
as
the
readers.
Example:
I
went
to
the
beach
today
with
my
family.
I
brought
my
shovel
and
a
large
bucket.
I
asked
my
sister
to
help
me
build
a
sand
castle.

Third
Person
There
are
several
variations
of
writing
in
the
third
person
point
of
view:
Third
Person
Omniscient:
The
story
is
told
by
someone
NOT
in
the
story.
When
writing
in
third
person
omniscient,
the
author
is
able
to
reveal
to
the
readers
what
is
going
on
inside
the
heads
of
the
characters
in
the
story
along
with
all
their
actions.
The
author
is
able
to
reveal
the
thoughts,
feelings,
and
actions
of
all
the
characters
at
any
time
during
the
story.
Example
of
writing
in
the
third
person
omniscient:
John
went
to
the
beach
today
with
his
family.
His
sister
wanted
to
build
a
sandcastle
but
she
didn’t
think
her
brother
wanted
to.
John
felt
hot
and
tired
but
he
grabbed
a
shovel
and
asked
his
sister
to
help
him
build
a
sandcastle.
