- 28. • POINT OFVIEW - this determines whether we’re seeing something from the narrator’s perspective or a character’s perspective. • First person tells the story from a character’s perspective using first person pronouns (I, me, my, mine, we, our, ours). For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the narrator, Nick, is mostly an observer and participant in Gatsby and Daisy’s story. • You can also use third person limited to show the story through the eyes of one character. This point of view uses third person pronouns (he, him, his, her, hers, their, theirs). If the story is told from the narrator’s perspective, the POV is typically third person omniscient. Omniscient means all-knowing: the narrator sees all and knows all. • Some stories are written in second person (you, yours). This point of view is more common in short stories than novellas or novels. Fanfiction and choose-your-own- adventure stories use second person more often than traditional creative writing does.
