When writing a story...

How should I write actions [i]done[/i] to my protaganist? Such as when my character is beaten Should I write it this way... [quote]A. Daniel was beaten by the prison warden.[/quote] Or should I write it this way [quote]B. The warden beat Daniel.[/quote] Daniel is my protaganist. I want to write my entire story from his perspective. I'm wondering if this small thing makes a difference. Does it?

  • B. A is too formal, it would be better suited to a biography or news article. I'm assuming you're writing a novel, so you want to keep the prose light and informal so the reader doesn't feel detached.
