Answer 1

Answer:

First, second, and third person are ways of describing points of view. First person is the I/we perspective. Second person is the you perspective. Third person is the he/she/it/they perspective.

OR.

a book written in the “first- person” is told from the perspective of a participant in the story, usually the main character (Hallett, n.d.). Often the third-person narrator is “omniscient”, meaning they 'know' everything, the characters thoughts and feelings, past etc.
