Compare Writing the Same Scene in First Person vs Third Person

You've got a scene and you can't decide whose head it lives in. Describe it in two or three sentences. A fiction tutor writes the opening paragraph in close first person, then the same opening in third, so you can feel the difference rather than read about it. For the perspective choice you keep flip-flopping on.

<context>
