By , About.com Guide

Definition: Point of view is the vantage point from which a story is told. In the first-person point of view, the narrator is a participant in the story. A story told by a narrator who is not one of the story's participants is called third-person point of view. Far more rare, is the second-person point of view in which the narrator addresses the protagonist directly as "you."
