the idea of using third-person narrative

Using the third-person narrative gives the narrator a bigger opportunity to share point ov views in underlying way. It is one of the most common techneques in storytelling.


To make it clearer, this techneque tends to offer more ,if not the most, objective view, neither the narrator(directly) or the reader are involved in this. Jon Karkauer uses this many times in his book(Into the Wild), and we can identify that by spotting pronouns such as they, it, he and she.


For example, (When the rangers pulled off the trap, they found an old yellow Datsun without licence plates,) if you look at this example, you will see that Jon uses(they) as a third-person narrative pronoun. If he used I and you, that would change it to a first-person narrative.... I think you know the difference now :)

This is basically the third-person narrative
