Point of View

Confessions of an Heiress is told in the first person. The point of view is literally "the world according to Paris." It is basically an interview with Paris Hilton about her views on celebrity life, beauty, and wealth. Paris elaborates on how to have a lifestyle like hers and talks about how she got to where she is today. Many of Paris' statements must be taken as "tongue in cheek," as the book is meant to be humorous at times. For example, part of the book is written as her dog's view of the world.

Setting
