The choice of point(s) of view, the voice in which one narrates one’s story, can make an immense difference to the tone, the effect, even the meaning of the story. Writers often find that a story they want to tell “sticks” and won’t go right until they find the right person to tell it—whether it’s a choice between first and third person, or between the involved author and a limited third-person narrator, or between a character involved in the action and a bystander, or between one and several narrators.
