The Places You’ll Go in Your Writing With Second Person POV


by PeggySue Wells @PeggySueWells

The flavor of Second Person POV is distinctive. 

One familiar example is found in the book most often given as a gift to high school and college graduates, Oh, The Places You'll Go! 

Popular children's books author Dr. Seuss used Second Person POV in this classic when he wrote

“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

Second Person POV uses the pronouns You, Yours, and Yourself.
