How might a story written in a third-person limited point of view impact the reader?

Answer 1

it lets the reader know part of the story. For example, First person lets the reader know solely what that person is thinking and what he/she sees. Also, third person point of view does not let us know what the characters are feeling/thinking/etc only what is going on because it is narrated.

Answer 2

We’ve all had experience listening to older couples tell stories from their early days together. One might say to you, “Did we ever tell you about our first trip to New York? That was some trip.”

Then the other will add, “Oh! yes, that was a wonderful trip.”

“Wonderful?” the first will shout. “What trip were you on? It is a disaster. You were too cheap to check into a good hotel.”

The the second will respond, “Cheap? That hotel was fine. Right off Broadway! It was romantic.”

Then for twenty minutes we hear not one, but two stories about the trip. It was the same trip, but the couple tells the story as if it was two different trips. What we have experienced is the importance of point of view. In telling a story, who tells it is of paramount importance.

Choosing a narrative point of view is perhaps the most important and most difficult decision a writer of a story can make. Point of view–like plot, character, setting, and language–is a creative decision; however, it is also very much a technical decision. Someone has to tell the story. That someone is called the narrator. But the question is who will that narrator be and what
