First Person: Reflects the style of a firsthand account. “I got out of bed,” “he spoke to me after the conference,” “we talked all the way to the bus stop,” etc. Examples: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.
Second Person: Reflects the style of a choose-your-own adventure book. “You hesitate before knocking on the door,” “it doesn’t take long for you to reach the end of the tunnel,” etc. Example: basically any choose-your-own adventure book out there.
Third Person: reflects the style of a secondhand account. “She took forever to get ready,” ”they raced to the scene of the crime,” “his time was slowly running out,” etc. Examples: Partials by Dan Wells, The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.
Good luck!
