Here is an example of Fanfiction writing (Game of Thrones) that can be used in a high school class to illustrate point of view. It illuminates a character's thoughts and provides insight into character to understand his actions.
The Elements Entwine
Chapter 12 The Gate
As Jon stood at the open gate of Winterfell he reflected. It had been more than a year, actually closer to two since Wun Wun broke down the gate and they took back their home. This yard was sacred, consecrated by the blood spilled from both sides. So many memories and now he was waiting for his youngest living brother to ride through the gate. He could not fathom everything that had happened since he rode out with his Uncle Benjen to take the black. The last time he saw Robb was here, in this yard. He thought back to all the times they had spent practicing with bow and arrow and wooden swords right here. Here, he stormed in with his men, his friends by his side. Wun Wun had died here for him. He almost beat Ramsey to death here, for Sansa. And if he closed his eyes, he could replay it all. It never came back to him in order but, it all came back. Somehow, Bran riding through that gate with Meera would bring it almost full circle. Tormund and his sons came into view and slightly behind them Bran and Meera and Lord Reed. Bran had explained to him everything he had seen in his vision of the Tower of Joy and now he could actually speak to Howland Reed who was there with his Lord Father. In truth, all he wanted to know about was his mother.
