A Sample paragraph on Third person narration of Douglas’s experience: From the beginning, however, Douglas had an aversion to the water when he was in it. This started when he was three or four years old and his father took him to the beach in California. He and his father stood together in the surf. He hung on to his father, yet the waves knocked him down and swept over him. He was buried in water. His breath was gone. He was frightened. His father laughed, but there was terror in his heart at the overpowering force of the waves.

I think for such accounts the first person narration is better as compared to the third person narration because this makes the story or incident interesting for the listeners or readers.
