Third person narrative technique in into the wild.


Third person narrative technique can show a writer’s mastery of narrative style. It can also be viewed as a more formal style of writing than first person or second person narrative, which makes it a good choice for authors to use in their writing.

If a writer wants to come across as relating to readers, he or she might prefer to use second person narrative, which reads as though the author is speaking directly to the audience. But in fiction writing, most novels adopt first person or third person points of views.

As we read in into the wild Jon Krakauer in some times he uses a third person narrative technique to show the flexibility of using more than kind of narrative(first or second person) without confusing the reader.
