There are three main ways to describe points of view: first, second, and third person. The easiest way to tell that a sentence is written in the first person is to look for the use of first-person pronouns. These pronouns include I, me, my, mine, and myself, as well as we, us, our, and ourselves. I, me, my, mine, and myself are singular first-person pronouns, while we, us, our, and ourselves are plural first-person pronouns. Unlike the first-person point of view, the second-person point of view is focused on the person or people who are being addressed. In the third-person point of view, the person or people being talked about forms the perspective.

Writers and authors speak to us through their words. The success of the writing depends on the effectiveness of the narrative style of the author. There are three different ways in which an author can deliver the intended narrative — in the first person, the second person and in the third person. In grammar, there are eight parts of speech and one of them is the pronoun.
First-Person Vs. Third-Person: All You Need To Know
Writing in third-person is one of the three styles you can use when describing a point of view. If we go down the first-person route, writing will include pronouns like I , me , myself, and mine. But that tends to happen more in stories than research papers. So, always choose the third-person stance when writing academic copy, such as essays and research papers.
A few weeks ago, I was teaching a writing class on just such an afternoon. Writing Multiple Points of View. The sun was a dim, vaguely circular red blot, its redness seeping through the haze of smoke like blood through tissue paper.
