What the Point?

When we write, there are different perspectives the author can take on or use. 

The most common is the first person, where we are right there in the story. Words such as; We, us, our, and ourselves are first-person pronouns. Singular first-person pronouns include I, me, my, mine and myself. This gives the feeling of being inclusive, making the reader feels part of the story.

We have the second person where the word you is used frequently, almost like it was all about them or their fault. Again the author is very involved, but they may understand the background behind the issue yet.

Third person perspective is one of my favourites when writing. The author is writing as if looking through a window or door and watching what is happening. It helps to use your imagination and create pondering thoughts about what they could be thinking or what might happen next.
