What point of view does the following passage use? There are no buses arriving for the big cities until next morning. Your friends had warned you about situations like this. If only you had taken their warnings more seriously. No use crying over spilled milk. Right now, you have to focus on finding a place to stay in this remote village. first-person point of view second-person point of view third-person limited point of view third-person omniscient point of view

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Point of view is about who is telling the story (or in movies, about the camera). When the narrator is telling you the story, or the camera IS with the main character, it is called first-person and uses "I" and "we" and "me" and "my". Moby wingspan starts "Call me Ishmael" and is a first-person POV. Hardcore Henry is a first-person POV movie. What do you think -- can we rule out "first person"?

OpenStudy (ashtonfoshee):

yea @mjdennis

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

OK, so first person is like having the reader fell like he is inside the narrator. Second-person is next closest. It is like having the narrator telling the reader that the story is happening to the reader. Third person POV is with the reader and the narrator both outside looking it to the story. "God said, Let there be light; he willed it, and at once there was light." is third person. If third-person is omniscient, we could see everything; if third-person is limited, we only know shat one person sees and hears and thinks. Hope this helps; I have to go.
