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.
