Explanation:

Analyze the point of view for each text

1. Your video: The text states it "directly addresses the viewers." Addressing an audience directly using pronouns like "you" corresponds to the second person point of view.
2. The poem: The text states it "is a personal reflection." A personal reflection uses pronouns like "I" and "me," which corresponds to the first person point of view.
3. Your academic research: The text states it "examines Poe's literary works at large." Academic research is written objectively using pronouns like "he," "she," "it," or "they," which corresponds to the third person point of view.
