When you first start a new project, the first thing you have to decide is which viewpoint to use.

Last week we discussed about choosing the best viewpoint for your story. This week I will look at various types of POV. First person, second person, third person, omniscient

Please use the first person when the hero speaks the story. This is a sort of "myself" narrator. As a reader, you can only experience the story through the eyes of this person. So, I do not know anything about people or events that my character has never experienced.

The first person around: This is not a storyteller, it is not a hero but a role in the story. It still uses the narrator of "me", but since the narrator is not the hero, the main character has events and scenes that the narrator will not be able to access.

The second viewpoint is usually used only to teach sentences. Talk from the perspective of "you"

If your talker is not a person in the story, please use a third party's POV. The third person uses the narrator of "his / her / it". This is the most commonly used POV in writing.

Third Party Restrictions: Limiting means that the POV is limited to one letter. This means that the narrator knows only what the character knows. In the case of limitation by a third party, you can choose to see actions from inside or outside of the character's head. Narrator can access information beyond the hero's point of view.

Third Person Multiple: This type is still in the "he / she / it" category, but now the narrator can follow more than one role in the story. The challenge is to ensure that readers are aware of when to switch from one role to another. Clarify the switch with chapters and section breaks

The third person knows everything. Even in this view, the story "he / she / it" is used, but now the talker knows everything. The narrator is not limited by human knowledge, it is like the narrator is a god. A narrator can know what other people do not have, comment on what is going on, and see the hearts of other characters.

Personally, I am most used to using 3rd party omnipotent POV. That is the only thing that flows naturally

Reviewing the three different kinds of views outlined above, it is clear that the classic of this feminist is an omniscient narrator. Although the narrator is not a specific character in the story, you can enter the thoughts and emotions of each character. Look at the following excerpt: The central figure you absolutely want to focus on In fact, the only person we have true insight is Mrs. Marad In this wonderful two-page half page, A short story is the main focus. The first sentence tells us that she has "suffered from heart disease." And it shows that she is a weak person. But as the author said, the way she deals with her husband's death immediately distinguishes her from other women.

The viewpoint is basically the voice of a narrator. There are four opinions: First person, second person, third person knows everything, third person is restricted. The first person is written from the point of view of the hero. The second person chooses your own adventure just as you use "you". It is ok to make it possible to put readers in the minds of all characters involved by third parties. From the third person perspective, the narrator focuses on the hero and his point of view.

If the story is written in third person viewpoint, you can use three types of narratives. The first one is omniscient. A third party's view of this type is that the narrator has infinite knowledge including all the characters' thoughts and emotions. An objective point is that the talker only knows what is in front of them. Narrator does not know the character's thinking, feelings, or why they do what they are doing. In a limited view, the narrator knows only the thought, emotion, and situation of personality and role.
