Is it really necessary to apply a 3 letter acronym here? if you must:

1. user sees the console screen, which shows the view (lines of texts)
2. user types something on command line, which is an even from view
3. controller gets the event, i.e. the user input
4. controller does something accordingly, and updates the model (persons)
5. controller tells the view to repaint, i.e. print some more lines.

psuedocode:

Person // model
   update();

View
   modelUpdated()
       println(Person.name); ...

Controller
     main()
         while( input = getInput() )
             person.update(...);
             view.modelUpdated();
