I love writing in third person, as it gives you a wider opportunity in adding scenes and etc that does not include the main character.

Honestly, first person turns me off a bit, as usually there would be less description and more action, and the word(maybe letter?) "I" can get very, very repetitive and degrading to read. =/

First person does have its advantages though, as it allows you to build up your character's personality far better than third person. Though, as for the other characters, it'll be harder to do that, as their personality must circulate only through the perspective of your main character.

I still can't understand what second person perspective means.

I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
