1. First-Person Narrator: This is the most straightforward term. The narrator is a character in the story, using "I" and "me" to tell the tale. They might be the protagonist, a supporting character, or an observer.
2. Participant Narrator: This emphasizes the narrator's active involvement in the events of the story. They are not simply observing; they are directly participating in the action.
3. Internal Narrator: This term highlights the narrator's perspective, which is limited to their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They may not know everything that's happening in the story or have access to the thoughts of other characters.
4. Unreliable Narrator: This type of narrator is not always trustworthy. They may have biases, limited knowledge, or be intentionally misleading.
Examples:
* First-person narrator: "I saw the ghost of my grandfather in the garden, standing by the old oak tree."
* Participant narrator: "I joined the rebels and fought alongside them for freedom."
* Internal narrator: "She said she loved him, but I could tell she was lying. Her eyes were filled with deceit."
* Unreliable narrator: "I'm sure she meant to call me later, but she never did. She probably just forgot, like she always does."
The specific term used will depend on the context and the specific aspects of the narrator's role you want to emphasize.
