Please Help... Essay Writing 3rd Person?

Question

I am writing an essay about how I change my fashion based on the performance region I am in. It has to be in third person meaning no I's or my's, etc... How do I write this essay where the teacher will know it is me I am referring to? DO I write (People) when referring to myself.

Answer 1

Optimistic likes to ask questions. Optimistic finds people interesting. She says she's not sure how to write in third person.

Answer 2

No, you can't use the first person even in the intro or conclusion. If you want to say, "In this essay I will highlight the three most important causes that led to the Revolutionary War," you have to change it to the third person. One way to do that is to write: "This essay will highlight the three most etc etc..." But the best way is to use the same expressions as a text book: "There were many causes that led to the Revolutionary War. One of the most important was ..blahblah..." Another paragraph then says, "A second critical event that led to the war was whatever..." And then you transition by saying, "And finally, the third important cause of blah blah..." At first it seems like it will be hard to phrase things this way, but you get used to it really quickly after you concentrate on doing it a few times.

Answer 3

Well you could write it in the 3rd person when you're talking generalities, but when you want to make a point based on your own experience or outlook, sometimes you could say "the writer," as in "the writer has found that this particular kind of look works best in this particular cultural context." Or something like that. Just a stylistic trick -- I wouldn't overuse it.

Answer 4

Use your name. If your name is Mary, you say, "And then Mary jumped on her bike and rode to the store."

Answer 5

USE "everybody".
