What Are the Key Differences Between First-Person and Third-Person Narratives?

First-Person Narrative

Perspective: This story is told using "I."
Emotion: We get a close look at what the character is thinking and feeling.
Example: “I felt the chill in the air as I walked alone.”

Third-Person Narrative

Perspective: This story uses "he," "she," or "they."
Scope: It can either know everything about all the characters (omniscient) or just focus on one character (limited).
Example: “She felt the chill in the air as she walked alone.”

Both styles change how we connect with the story!
