In the «A Pool Full of Nightmare» ¡ the point of view is the third person with a change from traditional to a modern one. In «The Day of Horseshed”¡by shifting between first and second person point of view¡ two different worlds are represented in the same general world. In the» Again from the Same Streets«¡ the story is begun with the third person point of view¡ but turns into the first person and due to the objection of the main character of the story to the writer¡ the theory of the “death of the author and uncertainty” is presented.
