Writing in the third person- a good choice or bad

Should write to the first or third person? Before starting to write a novel or a new, he must make a decision. Ask yourself the right questions to determine who will be the narrator for your story.
 
The story in the first person
The first person narrator is necessarily reliable for the reader. Because this narrative that takes the party from a subjective point of view. With this type of narration, it is more difficult to reveal specific information. He will have to find tricks and pretexts for the reader to understand how the Narrator has learned these elements. This Narrator can be one of the main characters of the story, and give his vision and his point of view to the reader. But it can also be aloof, and thus have an overview of the facts, with more perspective. These two aspects can be used alternatively in the same story. This type of narrative works fine for novels or thrillers. The reader feels so close to the action and thinks at the same time as the Narrator, for the solution of the Enigma.
 
The story in the second person
Is this type of narration possible? He may have some originality but may run out of steam soon. It can then be used in Prolog, for example, or even in some passages, like the Travel book of Bernard Weber (Albino Michel, 1997). In this narrative, the book is the narrator and speaks directly to the reader. However, if it works for the Book of the trip, it is indeed because the story is abridged and it alternates between the first and second person.
 But what will be your place of Narrator?
His novel or its narrative in the third person is the most common attitude in literature. Indeed, the third person your place of Narrator is ideal to describe and to observe all of the situations of your novel or your new. As a narrator, you can then observe the different characters and report what is happening in their minds. A distance is very convenient to discover the different points of view. However, if this type of narration is the most common and probably the most practical, it is necessary to precisely define your place of Narrator. The risk to be an omniscient Narrator, ahead of the story, little quickly become annoying. Don't forget: as Narrator, you should describe situations like an observer who would be at the same level of knowledge as the drive. On the other hand, that you adopt a remote position, whether you're not objective in your judgment or you take advantage of a character, it depends only on your style.
The story in the third person
That's what most often found in the literature. Practical, this type of narration allows an overview of the story. The Narrator can then observe and describe not only the characters but also what is happening in their heads. But before you get you into this type of narration; we must ask you some questions, to define your Narrator. Is the latter omniscient or limited to his knowledge? An omniscient Narrator can more easily to reveal information to the reader. For its part, a narrator point of view internal done hand from one of the characters.
Other questions to ask: the Narrator is objective? Does it take away? And which? Your Narrator may tell the facts with total impartiality or on the contrary, in a different style, judge and criticize the story. Whatever it is, the Narrator, in the third person, is not necessarily reliable and can be played the player. You know if it comes to the Narrator type you want for your story.
 
The conclusion
Write in the first person
Write in the first person is always a delicate choice. On the one hand, because you opt resolutely for the point of view of a character, at risk, on the duration of the story, Miss elements of recovery, and the other because you resolutely take a subjective point of view. Adherence to your character and your writing style will then become capital. With this kind of storytelling, it will also be harder to reveal specific information, since your main character is not omniscient. On the other hand, writing in the first person allows the reader of her feel closer to the action and the emotions of the character. It is a technique widely used in the fiction but also in novels
 
Even if sometimes I read perfect texts written in the first person, I have a lot of trouble with this format! I can't say because I have the impression that it is a judgment that could affect the many authors who use this mode to view...
So I'll get to argue and discuss my point of view with yours.

I read it long ago in a literary essay (which I can't remember the title or the author, but perhaps it was Roland Barthes), writing in the first person was the most natural, to which tends every writer when his first stories. The author then glided it was a form needed to be emancipated.
This sums up my feeling a little and allows me to open my case for writing in the third person.
I know that most of the authors here use this type of view to their stories.
Many students fail to get high marks in their writing task because they unintentionally use passive voice in their document. So, stay away from this as it can harm your entire content.
