n I once had tried to look. It had a bead curtain at the door and we passed through it and the beads rustled like tall grass. The room was dim, lit by candles, and it smelled of incense, and my grandfather stood me before a little shrine with flowers and smoking incense bowl and two brass candlesticks and between them a photo of a man in Chinese mandarin hat. – Robert Olen Butler, “Mr. Green,” A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain The first sentence states that the room is private.

Coach told us we should stay lose before the championship match, and that we should think soothing thoughts. "The best way to lose a big game is to forget and have fun," he said. "That's one of the main principals I stick to: Enjoy yourselves." Now, the other team is over there in their locker room.

Jake hastily made the decision to leave his umbrella by the door instead of taking it with him. This would prove a poor choice. This is an example of a third-person <em>subjective</em> point of view. The character is a narrator who is not only describing the events, but has information that no character would know. The narrator could know about the character’s feelings, future plans, concerns, even when the character hasn’t mentioned them out loud. In this case, the narrator has information about the future consequences of not taking the umbrella.
You should always listen to your mother's advice. This is a second-person point of view (using pronoun “you”).
