What are some examples of second person point of view?

Answer 1

First person is simply using I, and we for the subject. or reffering to the writer himself/herself.

Examples:

I ran with my dog.

I walked home with my head down staring at the ground.

We went Bowling for the first time.

We won first place at the football game.

Answer 2

Second person point of view is rare in literature, but examples include "If on a winter's night a traveler" by Italo Calvino and "Bright Lights, Big City" by Jay McInerney. It directly addresses the reader as "you" and immerses them in the story's experience. It is more commonly found in instructional writing, self-help books, and choose-your-own-adventure stories.

Answer 3

Yes, the plural pronoun "we" is a first person pronoun.

Think of pronoun points of view in written English in this way:

"We are talking to you about them."

"We [first person pronoun] are talking to you [second person pronoun] about them [third person pronoun]."

Any pronoun that refers to the person/people talking or communicating is first person: "we" in the above example.

Any pronoun that refers to the person/people being spoken to or listening is second person: "you" in the above example.

Any pronoun that refers to the person/people being talked about is third person: "them" in the above example.

Another example using singular pronouns:

"I [first person pronoun] am talking to you [second person pronoun] about him [third person pronoun]."

There are two levels to pronouns: singular and plural.

'we' is first person plural

'I' is first person singular.

'I' is the most common form of first person narrative in literature. 'We' is rarely used in literature.

Answer 4

Yes. It shows that that person outside of the story is telling it. If it says I and is not in quote marks it is a First.
