pointofview

toc =A Definition=
 * The view (or perspective) by which a story is told
 * There are three possible points of view
 * //First person//: This is where the narrator is part of the action in the story (and uses "I" and "me" and "we")
 * //Third-person omniscient:// This is when the narrator is separate from the action and knows everything about all the characters, possessing the authority to say what any character is thinking. (It will use "he" and "she" and "they.")
 * //Third-person limited//: This is also when the narrator is separate from the action, but here the narrator is an authority on only one character, which means you hear what only one character is thinking. (It will use "he" and "she" and "they.")

=Notable Examples:=
 * In //The Odyssey//, two points of view are used.
 * During the flashback, when Odysseus is explaining to King Alcinuous what happened to him, the point of view is **first person**.
 * When Odysseus returns to Ithaca, the point of view is **third person omniscient**. We're told what multiple characters are thinking: Telemachus, Odysseus, and Penelope
