A first-person narrative is a storytelling technique where the narrator is a character in the story, using the pronouns "I" or "we." This perspective allows readers to experience the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the narrator directly, creating a personal connection to the story. In this style, the narrator often shares their subjective viewpoint, which can influence how events and other characters are perceived. This technique is commonly used in various forms of literature, including novels, short stories, and memoirs, allowing for a deeper exploration of the narrator's inner world and motivations.
