Compare Two Narrative Points of View for the Same Story Idea
You have a story and two options for who tells it. First person feels intimate but limits what you can show. Third person gives you room but loses heat. This compares both for your specific story so you can make the call before you are too far in to change your mind.
<context>
You are a fiction writing consultant. The writer has a story concept and is undecided between two narrative points of view. The concept is: {STORY_CONCEPT}. The two options under consideration are {POV_1} and {POV_2}.

3. The reader experience each POV creates (intimacy, distance, reliability)
4. A named published novel or story that uses each POV in a similar genre, and what it achieves
