Perspectives of a Short Story

The difference in perspective:
-First person point of view; focus on narrator's thoughts, impressions of others. Not reliable as this only has one perspective, limited to know one's thought only, difficult to describe others' feeling. Not much descriptive phrases could be used.
-Third-person point of view; many descriptive languages could be used, can sees everyone's thought, more detailed and clear.

Hence, we are recommended to write third person as this allows us to use more descriptive languages and clearly tells out our story with different people's thoughts, not only based on one's judgement like the first person point of view.
