What is First Person?
First person is a point of view used in writing and storytelling where the narrator or speaker refers to themselves using pronouns like "I," "me," "my," and "we." This perspective allows readers or listeners to experience the story or information directly through the narrator’s personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Examples of First Person:
- Narrative: "I walked to the store and saw a beautiful sunset."
- Conversation: "I think this is a great idea."
Uses of First Person:
- In literature , first person gives an intimate and subjective perspective.
- In everyday communication , it expresses personal opinions and experiences.
- In academic writing , first person can be used to describe your own actions or reflections (though this depends on the style guide).
