In My Point of View by:Gilary Ramirez
Narrative, also known as “Point of view” and “Perspective”, is a very crucial part of any story. It is the way that the story is framed, affecting the manner in which details are relayed to the reader and how the reader connects to the story. Depending on the point of view, characters can be made more or less relatable. The reader can find it easy to sympathise with a main character, or dislike them entirely. All because of the effects of the chosen perspective. First person point of view and third person point of view are the most common, for all that they are starkly different.
First person perspective is usually distinguished by the use of keywords such as I, me, we, and us. The use of such words makes it easier for the reader to connect with the characters as they find themselves easily immersed in the perspective of the character telling the story. Writing from the first person perspective also makes it easier for the reader to sympathise with the character as the reader plays witness to the characters reasoning for their actions. An example of this is the story A&P written by John Updike. At the end of the story we witness Sammy quitting his job out of a misguided sense of chivalry, however we can understand his actions as the story is told in first person perspective. By reading the story from his perspective we witness his admiration of the girls for their daring entrance in their swimsuits, as well as his opinion that once one

When reading a novel, readers are typically more engaged in novels that capitalize on literary elements. In the art of writing novels, many authors, knowingly, capitalize one dynamic aspect of literature known as point of view. Having a change in the point of view forces the reader to pay closer attention to the words being read and, as a result, they more fully immerse themselves in the story. Using a changing point of view also allows for the development of complex characters. Developing complex characters is crucial to the formation of an engaging story.
What point of view is used in the story? What are the advantages of this point of view? The narrator has a third-person objective point of view or Dramatic point of view in the story. The narrator tells what is happening in the story through the actions and dialogue, but not through a character’s emotions or personal thoughts.
5. The advantages of first person plural point of view is that you get know what each person is thinking. You get different perspectives that you can piece together to create a full story. If you take away the first person plural point of view the story would not have a dramatic climax/ending. There is just a sense of wonder from one person rather than a community. You

The story also contains many things for the third person too. But apart from all this, I m going to discuss the effects of the first person three main points are on styles and variations point of view and benefits of writing in the first person. Some other points are displayed in front. First I will discuss the style and variations then everything else.
Seeing from many point of views can help the reader and characters in the story learn in
1. Point of view – the view or perspective of how the story is narrated (i.e first person)
We see the story as a character but when we see the story as an audience, we see the story in third point of view.
The point of view being 3rd person omniscient develops the theme because when you know the characters thoughts and feelings you know more, than if there was just dialogue. The reader knows more than if there was just dialogue. The reader knows how scared each boy is by it being 3rd person omniscient. An example of the reader being able to see
The point of view of a narrator can make or break a story, as the narrator is extremely important to the reader's understanding of a story. Different points of view and different narrators can oftentimes affect the point the story is attempting to portray and it even change what the reader believes the story is about. If someone were to go through a story written in a first-person narrative story and change all the pronouns to a third-person point of view, or even a first person plural point of view, it can distort the way the reader understands and comprehends the story.
In the 1st person point of view the reader sees the story unfold from the perspective of the narrator. Many novels use this convention such as classics like Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island. This point of view allows the reader to sympathize with the narrator/main character and place themselves in the lives of these characters. Because of this, however, 1st person narration is limited and biased. The narrator can only know what is taking place around them and even then, the narrator can be considered unreliable due to being able to change certain
