What is the point of view written in a story?
That depends. If the story is fictional, or not real, then the point of view is most likely of the protagonist or main character. Some books which use 3rd person or 3rd person omnipresent don't have a point of view or change points of views from character to character. (1st person is from the protagonist's point of view, 2nd is from you, or the reader's point of view and is very uncommon, and 3rd person or 3rd person omnipresent is from multiple points of view, constantly changing or from an omnipresent point of view, or a point of view where you the reader can see everything that's going on) If it's non fiction, or a book on something real, then the point of view is most likely always from the person the book is about, or 3rd person, again. If you can't tell where the point of view is, just look at which character the book is writing about.
