Why can 1st person be limiting? In other words, what do readers miss out on when a story is told in 1st person point of view?

• The book is too short when 1st person is used.

• It is too selfish of the narrator to use "I"

• The reader can only read about what the narrator (the main character) experiences.

3rd person is beneficial because...
