Question

What does 2nd and 3rd person mean?

Answer 1

~ Point of View ~
Second person is a point of view when the narrator tells the story to someone else using the words, "you, you're, your, etc." An example of second person is instructions or directions. It is telling YOU what to do. Basically giving commands or telling the reader what to do.
There are three types of Third Person:
* Third Person Limited - The story adheres to one character's perspective. The narrator knows all things about this character, but only this one character.
* Third Person Omniscient - The narrator know all of the thought and feelings of each character in the story. Looks into the mind of more than one character.
*Third person Objective - The narrator tells the story without describing a character's thoughts or feelings. (Not commenly used.)
Third person in general is a story being told by someone not in the story. Expressed using the words, "he, she, they, her, him, etc."
