When a writer begins a new story, she must decide who will tell the story. Point of view is who tells the story, or the ā€œvoiceā€ that the story is told in. It's the place from which a narrator sees and understands what is happening. Read the following passage.

ā€œWeā€™re going to put on a play, Miriam!ā€ Zakir announced, waving his hands in my face. I immediately began to think of what part Iā€™d like to play. I thought at first Iā€™d like to play a witch or a goblinā€”Iā€™d been working for weeks on an eerie, low-sounding screech that I was sure would steal the show. But I knew Zakir was secretly afraid of things like thatā€”heā€™d never agree to a play about the occult. And, I remembered, the only audience for the play was our father, and he would quietly reprimand me for being insensitive to my brotherā€™s phobias. I could already hear his gentle scolding. "Don't tease him, Miriam," he would say. I thought of playing a queen, but maybe there wouldnā€™t be enough to do with that part. Our little sister, Dinah, would probably insist on wearing the houseā€™s toy crown, too. I looked around our living room, spying a pair of green tights doubled down between the couch cushions. A wrestler? Maybe.

What point of view is this passage written in?
