To determine the point of view, we analyze the pronouns used. The passage repeatedly uses "you" to address the reader or the character being described, which is characteristic of the second - person point of view. First - person uses "I/we", third - person limited focuses on one character's thoughts (uses "he/she/they" but with limited insight), and third - person omniscient has full knowledge of multiple characters' thoughts. Since this passage uses "you", it is second - person.
