Your opinion: First person или third person?

I'm starting on a novel about serious bullying. The boy goes through slitting his wrist, contemplating suicide, and obviously, bullying. So, I was wondering, in your humble opinion, should I write the novel in first person или third person?

I thank Ты for your opinion.

Письмо Ответы

silverexorcist said:
Now this is an excellent question. I've heard several opinions about whether first или third person is better in general, but, of course, there is no general consensus. With the first person, Ты can Показать everything from a single perspective, giving Ты the opprotunity to have the character's bias opinions of events and other characters, as well as go into Описание with a bit of bias, which is always interesting. However, this also means that it is a narrow point of view where Ты cannot truly and accurately Показать another character's opinion of the situation.

Third person, on the other hand, gives Ты the upperhand when dealing with multiple characters and events that cannot be described by a single character. Even third person limited gives Ты a bit еще freedom than first person and Ты can switch between limited and omniscient without making the Письмо look strange.

Personally, I'd have to suggest first person from your particular topic. If Ты want to give his despondent view of his dismal life, a narrow point of view would be preferable. Third person limited could work as well, but I feel like the impact would be better with first person.

I agree. I've invariably wrote first person. But I was wondering about Письмо third for a change. But yes, I completely agree with you.
