k well i did a biiig long story for english class 3 pages long, (its about kip and lafawnduh from napoleon dynamite, hehe) and my friend says she thinks i wrote it in the 2nd person, and my friend* told me our english teacher told her that we couldn't write in 2nd person because its the "wrong way to write a story" or something. read this part of my story and plz tell me if its 2nd or 3rd person??! thx!!
QUOTE Kip and Napoleon took all of their traveling bags, while Lafawnduh and Deb talked. "So what do you do?" asked Deb. "I'm a cosmetologist!", said Lafawnduh. "Wow, that's great!", she replied."And what do you do?" asked Lafawnduh. "Still doing the glamourshots?". "Yeah, we have gotten a lot of business lately! Maybe later I could get a portrait of you and Kip together!", Deb said. "OK, that would be great, thanks!", said Lafawnduh.

That's third person, you did it correct.
 First person=I, me, myself, etc Second person=you, your, yourself, etc Third=they, them, she, her, etc |

The only thing is that you need to, every time a new person starts talking, you need to start a new paragraph.
For example: QUOTE Kip and Napoleon took all of their traveling bags, while Lafawnduh and Deb talked. "So what do you do?" asked Deb. "I'm a cosmetologist!", said Lafawnduh. "Wow, that's great!", she replied. "And what do you do?" asked Lafawnduh. "Still doing the glamourshots?". "Yeah, we have gotten a lot of business lately! Maybe later I could get a portrait of you and Kip together!", Deb said. "OK, that would be great, thanks!", said Lafawnduh. It looks a bit tedious, but that way you are positive who is saying what! |
