A first-person narrator is a storytelling perspective where the narrator is a character in the story, using "I" or "we" to convey their experiences and thoughts. This point of view allows readers to see events and emotions directly through the narrator's eyes, creating a personal connection to the narrative. This style can enhance the story's intimacy, as readers gain insight into the narrator's feelings and motivations. However, it can also limit the perspective, as the audience only knows what the narrator knows. Common examples of first-person narration can be found in novels like The Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird.
