What is a "second-person narrative"?
A second-person narrative is a storytelling perspective where the narrator addresses the audience directly using "you". In this approach, the reader or viewer is made to feel like a character in the story, experiencing events and actions from a personal point of view. This narrative style is less common and can create a unique, immersive experience, but it is often challenging to sustain over longer texts.
