Talk:First-person narrative

message: Someone wrote that Jadakis "Man Plus" is an example of 1st person plural writing. I doubt this. I am going to quote a random fragment below, and if somebody could show me where the "we" is, I would be grateful... 
 It was a terrible responsibility, we being custodian of mankind's last forlorn hope for freedom and decency. When he woke up it was with that thought in mind; there was a part of Roger Torraway--it showed itself most commonly in dreams--that was about nine years old. It took all the things the President said at face value, although Roger himself, doubling as diplomat and mission .head, world traveler, familiar of a dozen capitals, really did not thInk in his conscious mind that the "Free World" existed.
	He dressed, his mind in the familiar occupation of resolving a dichotomy. Let's assume Dash is on the level, and occupying Mars means salvation for humanity, he thought. Can we cut it? He thought of Willy Hartnett--good-looking (or he had been, till the prosthesiologists got at him). Amiable. Good with his hands. But also a little bit of a lightweight, when you came to look at him honestly. Likely to take a drink too many at the club on a Saturday night. Not to be trusted in the kitchen with another man's wife at a party.
	He was not a hero, by any measure Roger could find. But who was? He cast his mind down the list of back-ups to the cyborg. Number One, Vic Freibart, currently off on a ceremonial tour with the Vice President and temporarily removed from the order of succession. Number Two, Carl Mazzini, on sick leave while the leg he had broken at Mount Snow healed up. Number Three: Him.
	There was no Valley Forge quality in any of them.
	He made his breakfast without waking Dorrie, got the car out and left it puffing on its skirts while he picked up the morning paper, threw it into the garage and closed the door. His next-door neighbor, walking toward his car pool, hailed him. "See the news this morning? I see Dash was in town last night. Some high-level conference."
	Roger said automatically, "No, I haven't put on the TV this morning." But I did see Dash, he thought, and I could take the wind out of _your_ sails. It annoyed him not to be able to say it. Security was a confounded nuisance. Half of his recent trouble with Dorrie, he was sure, came from the fact that in the neighborhood wives' morning block conference and coffee binge she was allowed to mention her husband only as a formerly active astronaut, now in administrative work. Even his trips abroad had to be played down--"out of town," "business trip," anything but "Well, _my_ husband is meeting with the Chiefs of Staff of the Basutoland Air Force this week." She had resisted. She still resisted, or at least complained to Roger about it often enough. But as far as he knew, she had not broken security. Since at least three of the wives were known to report to the Lab intelligence officer, he undoubtedly would have known.
	As Roger got into the car he remembered that he had not kissed Dorrie goodbye.</blockquote>

message: It looks like back in August, 2022 someone removed one or two entire sections, leaving only a reference. Maybe for copyright reasons, I’m not sure.
I don’t have time right now to pursue this further, but I feel like a section heading followed only by a reference is not great. I think we should either write new material for those sections, or remove the sections entirely. Elysdir (talk) 14:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
