Parts of Point of view

First person

First person point of view involves the use of either of the two pronouns "I" and "we".

Third Person Limited

Limited means that the POV is limited to only one character. Which means that the narrator only knows what that character knows. With third person limited you can choose to view the action from right inside the character's head, or from further away, where the narrator has more access to information outside the protagonist's viewpoint.

Point of view

Point of view is a reflection of the opinion an individual from real life or fiction can have.

Second person

Second person point of view employs the pronoun "you".

Third person

Third person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "it", "they" or a name.

Third Person Omniscient

This point of view still uses the "he/she/it" narration but now the narrator knows EVERYTHING. The narrator isn't limited by what one character knows, sort of like the narrator is God. The narrator can know things that others don't, can make comments about what's happening, and can see inside the minds of other characters.

Third Person Multiple

This type is still in the "he/she/it" category, but now the narrator can follow multiple characters in the story. The challenge is making sure that the reader knows when you are switching from one character to another. Make the switch obvious with chapter or section breaks.

Third person objective

author disappears into a kind of roving sound camera that can go anywhere but can record only what is seen or heard the author tells the story, using the third person, but limits him/herself to reporting what the characters say or do

Omniscient point of view

narrator who knows everything about all the characters is all knowing, or omniscient.

Limited omniscient point of view

narrator whose knowledge is limited to one character, either major or minor, has a limited omniscient point of view.

Third person limited omniscient

the author tells the story, using the third person, BUT he/she limits her/himself to a complete knowledge of one character in the story and tells us only what that one character thinks, feels, sees, or hears: the author places her/himself at the elbow of this one character, so to speak, and looks at the events of the story through his/her eyes and through his/her mind; the author moves both inside and outside this character but never leaves her
