writing - Can I use 'I' in an essay?





Can I use 'I' in an essay, can I address myself and explain things from my perspective ? (without twisting or bending facts of course)


Answer



Modern essay style accepts the use of "I", especially in preference to older uses of passive voice that now tend to look stilted, e.g. "one would opine" or "it was thought" rather than "I think".
