First Person

In this mode, the narrator is usually the protagonist or central character in the story.  First-person narration is easy to identify because the narrator will be telling the story from an “I” perspective.  Readers should watch for the narrator’s use of first-person pronouns- “I, me, my, our, us, we, myself, and ourselves,” as these will usually indicate that the passage is narrated from the first-person perspective.
