2.2.5 Point of View
Point of view is the voice of narrating of the story. According to Jacobs an Roberts 1993:55 “Point of View is the way the reality of a story is made to
seem authenthic. It may be regarded as a story’s focus, the angle of division from which things are not only seen and reported but also judge.”
Point of view is the way of the author place himself in the story. The author expresses the emotional and mental feeling of character in the story to help
the reader find the events. Tarigan 1986:130 says that “Sudut pandang
adalah posisi fisik tempat persona melihat dan menyajikan gagasan-gagasan atapun
peristiwa-peristiwa; merupakan perspektifpemandangan fisik dalam ruang
dan waktu yang dipilih sang penulis bagi personanya, serta mencakup kualitas-kualitas
emosional dan mental sang persona yang mengawasi sikap dan nada.”
