    Literary Analysis Point of view is when a reader can know the thoughts, actions, and words from someone’s perspective. For example, there is the first person point of view, where the narrator is the one telling the story from his or her point of view. In the story “Why, You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes, the narrator is telling the story in first person, from his point of view. The narrator tells the reader about his actions, the words he says, and even what he thinks as he relays what happened to him, a stranger he encounters, and an innocent young man.

    Even though the phrase “point of view” is just three measly words, it is one of the most important choices an author needs to make while deciding how they are going to write their story. Will they write in first person and use “I”, and “we”, or write in 3rd person and address people by their names or use pronouns like “he” or “they”? Although many people decide to write in third person point of view, both the stories The Georges and the Jewels by Jane Smiley, and Black Beauty: The Autobiography of a Horse by Anna Sewell develop their characters through first person point of view. The Georges and the Jewels is a story in perspective of a little girl named Abby, who has had both the good and the bad with horses. She has been thrown off of her…

    Stewart Pidd: Exploitive Perspective Kook In their book, Gary Pollitt and Craig Baker explain the basics of point-of-view: They first describe point-of-view as the manipulation of pronouns to create the writer’s perspective towards a topic. A writer can choose between three point-of-view perspectives: First-person, which is effective for telling a story about oneself, second-person, which focuses on the reader, and third-person, which is commonly used for academic writing. Pollitt and Baker advise writers to avoid second-person perspective with academic writing. Finally, they admonish students to maintain a consistent point-of-view, for doing so will easily separate them from the reckless point-of-view shifting masses (159-167).…
