Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In first-person narration, the narrator is a person in the story, telling the story from their own point of view. The narration usually utilizes the pronoun I (or we, if the narrator is speaking as part of a group).

Detailed explanation-2: -Detective fiction Since the narrator is within the story, he or she may not have knowledge of all the events. For this reason, the first-person narrative is often used for detective fiction, so that the reader and narrator uncover the case together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Say we’re writing a book about a woman named Sally, for example. If this story is in first person, you would be writing the book from Sally’s perspective as if from inside Sally’s head. Instead of saying “Sally walked to the store, ” you would say “I walked to the store.” The “I” is Sally.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a writer chooses to use first person, their next most important decision is which character will be narrating the story. There are three common types of narrators: a reliable character telling their own story, a character telling another character’s story, and an unreliable character telling the story.
