Writes the third person

The third person is a strange individual: he will talk to someone else, and it will be reported in exactly the same way he said it. When he comes to a person, he will be called by first name--always-- because he is the third person, and using pronouns to address him could dangerously turn him into a second person. The greatest threat lies, of course, in the third person becoming the first person. For, the trap on the first person is one that's impossible to get out of. Once one gets in the first person, it becomes extremely difficult to come back up to the third person. A third person is respected and admired-- the first person, thought of as egotist with possibly a good sense of humor, but only if he or she pulls it off fabulously. Beware of the first person!
