The author's choice of point of view affects how the story is told. It determines who tells the story and what the reader knows.
==========
Example!
The author uses first-person point of view, the reader sees through one character's eyes and only knows what that character knows. If the author uses third-person point of view, the reader can see into the minds of many characters and understand their thoughts and feelings. The point of view chosen can also affect the mood and style of the story, as well as how the reader connects with the characters and plot.
