-Traditional academic writing discourages the use of first or second person. This is because it does not sound objective. Instead, it sounds as though you have only a very limited, personal view of the issue you are discussing, rather than a view of the broader picture. First and second person pronouns can also make your work less concise。

-Writing in the third person allows the writer to be omniscient, to see and understand all elements and characters in the story, to show the story from more than one set of eyes. This may be as simple as including a few lines about the people left in the room after the main character exits. It may be as in-depth as showing complete scenes and events for which the main character isn’t present.
