Point of view is a reflection of the opinion an individual from real life or fiction can have. Examples of point of view belong to one of these three major kinds:
1. First person point of view involves the use of either of the two pronouns “I” and “we”.
- Example:
- “I felt like I was getting drowned with shame and disgrace.”
2. Second person point of view employs the pronoun “you”.
- “Sometimes you cannot clearly discern between anger and frustration.”
3. Third person point of view uses pronouns like “he”, “she”, “it”, “they” or a name.
- “Mr. Stewart is a principled man. He acts by the book and never lets you deceive him easily.”
IMAGERY
As a literary device, imagery consists of descriptive language that can function as a way for the reader to better imagine the world of the piece of literature and also add symbolism to the work. Imagery draws on the five senses, namely the details of taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound. Imagery can also pertain to details about movement or a sense of a body in motion (kinesthetic imagery) or the emotions or sensations of a person, such as fear or hunger (organic imagery or subjective imagery). Using imagery helps the reader develop a more fully realized understanding of the imaginary world that the author has created.
