First-Person Narrative
Narration in the first
person -- the grammatical term for I (first-person
singular) and we (first-person plural) -- is a narrative
told by a character involved in the story. When the narrator
uses "I" and describes his or her own experience, thoughts, or
feelings, the work is said to be in the first person.
See also third-person narrative.
