3. We communicate we know our viewpoint and can understand and respect the viewpoints of others as well.
4. Writers shape their stories through their choice of a point of view. Their choices include third-person, first-person, and multiple points of view.
5. These viewpoints may be omniscient or humanly limited. U.S. politics cannot be defined in terms of simple left-to-right spectrum of viewpoints.
