The debate of third person vs. first person point of view (POV) has been around for some time. It can make things challenging when you’re trying to figure out which POV to write from, especially if you’re partway through your short story or novel and decide to switch POV.
First person POV is where the main character is telling the story through their eyes. The protagonist talks in terms of “I,” “I said,” “I went,” etc. (The blond guy in the below photo is the “I.” He acts as both protagonist, narrator, and reader.)
In his speech at the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry says that keeping his opinions to himself during such a crisis would be akin to COWARDICE and TREASON.
Simile because it has “like” in it.
