Narrating Life in Third Person
A long time ago, I fretted over Drake’s pronoun confusion. He got you and I mixed up, and forget about he and she; they’re still all over the place. Recently, Drake has begun narrating his life, eschewing pronouns, but still in third person. For example, in the bath he cried, “Stop washing me, yelled my mom!” Running around the house: “I’m chasing, shouted my dad!”
Odd, but amusing.
