First, next, then, and finally are words that show the order in which things happen. Dates and times of the day also signal sequence.

Narrator/Narration
All authors write from a particular point of view. When the first person point of view is used, the narrator is a character in the story who uses I or we.
Authors may choose to tell a story in the first person in order to make the narrator more interesting.
When a story is narrated in the first person, the reader does not always need to trust everything that the narrator says.
