First person- The reader can easily follow the thoughts and feelings of the main character. A disadvantage is the boundary of only seeing one point of view and not knowing the inner thoughts of the other characters.
Third person- The reader can see the deep thoughts of multiple characters and connect with more characters. A big disadvantage is the reader cannot connect as well to the main character. Also, when first person is used the reader feels like they are in the story and the story is happening to them hope this helps tnx!
