Brave New World Essays Question #2

Hi, Mrs. Fletcher! I was just wondering if we are allowed to use "I", "we", "us", etc. on our essays or is it strictly formal and written in third person? I've used the third person point of view in the majority of my essays but some of the sentences required me to use "us" such as when I wrote that "Huxley is trying to warn us against creating a scientific utopian society."

Thank you!

    Louise, it is completely appropriate to use first person when writing an argument. We observe fairly strict third person rules when writing rhetorical/literary analysis.

    Good question. Hope the writing is going well.
