Third person is where you write as an outsider - you aren't part of the story, your in a way "observing" what is going on. First person writing, however is when your writing the story from the view of the person on the inside, otherwise, the main character. When writing papers, book reports, it is best to write in "third person" form, because you aren't apart of what your writing about. Rather, your merely an outsider viewing what is going on.
No, the text does not explain the craftsmanship behind O. Henry's work. It focuses on summarizing the stories rather than delving into the craft or writing techniques used by O. Henry.
He uses third person because he is writing about all of the English Pilgrims rather than just his life.
Writing in third person involves using pronouns like "he," "she," "they," or a character's name to refer to the characters in a story. This perspective allows the writer to narrate the events from an outside point of view, providing objectivity and a broader perspective on the characters and story. It is commonly used in fiction, academic writing, and journalism.
An autobiography is a subcategory of biography where the author writes about their own life, experiences, and perspectives. The key characteristic that determines if a biography is an autobiography is if the author is writing about themselves rather than another person.
No, nonfiction writing is based on facts, evidence, and reality. It relies on clear and logical argumentation rather than the imagination and fantasy found in fiction writing. The goal of nonfiction writing is to inform, persuade, or explain, and it must stay true to real events and information.
It certainly depends on what you're writing. There isn't a specific purpose for writing about trains - you can include them in your story if you want to show an exotic, rather old-fashioned way to travel or a complex mechanical device or even a huge machine. There are many reasons you might write about trains. In nonfiction, of course, you'd write about them to explain them to your readers.
A major characteristic of nonfiction writing is its basis in factual information and reality. Nonfiction aims to inform, explain, or persuade the reader using evidence, research, and real-life examples. It differs from fiction in that it presents facts and ideas, rather than creating a story or narrative.
No, first-person point of view should not be used when writing a profile about someone else. A profile should be in third person to maintain objectivity and avoid confusion about who is being referred to in the text. Using first person can make the profile seem more like a personal narrative rather than an informational piece about the individual.
Writing a story or non-fiction in the second person is unusual, because it's awkward. Instead of the word "I" (1st person) or "he" or "she" (3rd person), you use the word "you," as if you are addressing the reader directly. Rather than telling the reader what happened, you're encouraging them to imagine themselves experiencing and doing the events of the story. The related link lists several notable works that use second person narrative.
This cannot be explained by writing, rather it needs to be demonstrated.
If you are asking about run-on sentences, serious writing will comply with the rules, and frivolous (or experimental) writing is free to violate them. A run-on sentence might be used to convey that you, the writer, are too frantic to take the time to create new sentences rather than just continuing with the one you already have.
