To be honest, because I was absent the other day, I couldn't quite get what I was supposed to do for the third person narrative's task. Therefore, what I'm presenting here in this post is only to shed some light on why do writers use the first person narrative in these kinds of books such as the book we're studying which is "Into the Wild".

Third-person narrative can be identified by observing certain pronouns used in the narrative. Third-person narrative uses "he," "she," "it" and "they," not "I" or "you." This form of narrative tends to offer the most objective view of a story because neither the narrator nor the reader are participants. Even in third-person narrative where subjective thoughts and feelings are known, they are generally contextualized by the thoughts and feelings of other characters. This use of the third person narrative in this book however, doesn't reveal any internal thoughts or emotions about the characters and report only what is observable from outside.

Finally, in my own personal opinion, I believe that in non-fiction books, third person narrative is ought to be used. Writers Cannot know what a person was thinking in a particular moment; therefore, the use of the third person narrative is the best method for this genre of books unless the writers are writing about themselves, it is a different story. For fiction books on the other hand the writer have the liberty of writing in any possible way he or she sees best.
