In formal writing there is a distance between the writer and the reader, the third person is generally used.  This voice is used for most college level work.   Less formal writing in the second person (you, your) and usually gives off a more causal voice.  This can be effective when the writer is giving instructions or speaking directly to the reader.

Rewrite the paragraph on page 23 in first person singular (I).  The result will be the most informal voice in writing.  The writing will have a more personal and casual tone, such as a diary or a memoir, similar to that of Desiderata.

Reminder:  Know this!!

Personal Pronouns: Personal Pronouns refer to (1) the person speaking, (2) the person spoken to, (3) the person, place, thing, idea spoken about.
