Understanding Point of View in Storytelling
Point of view, or POV, can change how we feel about a story.
Challenges:
When a story is told in the first person (like "I" or "we"), it can make it hard to know how other characters feel.
But if a story uses third-person omniscient (where the narrator knows everything), it can feel too distant. This can keep readers from really connecting with the characters.
Possible Solutions:
Change the point of view at certain moments to show different feelings and perspectives.
Mix the styles. You can use first-person for personal or emotional scenes and switch to third-person for a wider view of the story.
Finding the right balance in POV helps create a story that feels real and touches our hearts.
