In poetic literature you will often find a poem that seems to be inviting the reader to participate in an adventure or a love story. The use of 'you' is evident in the poetry, but in most cases the reader understands that the poem is written to a third party and the author is simply allowing you the opportunity to read these moments of intimate conversation.
Possessives in poetry, marked by an apostrophe, are a way to understand that the poem is written for and to another person - even when written in first person.
When a writer takes the opportunity to hop away from the flow of the story to speak to the reader directly, this method of writing is called Authorial Intrusion. This would normally be used if the writer wants to add more realism to an apparent work of fiction. This is accomplished when the storyteller breaks from the action to talk directly with you.
Authorial Intrusion can also be used in poetry and is used extensively in persuasive essays. In fact, in essays Authorial Intrusion is often used as a means of allowing a personal voice of persuasion to assist in the point being argued.
If you are familiar with the old Dragnet series or similar programs, you may have noticed quite a few Authorial Intrusions as the pensive detectives would "break the fourth wall" and remind the viewers of what they should be taking away from the episode. However, in recent years, this technique has become a self-parody, as you can often see it in those often gormless and/or tacky movie comedies.
Writing has matured in the years that have passed since those days of black and white movies and television - likewise, Authorial Intrusion is not as frequently used as before. One can even call the use of Authorial Intrusions demode - these days, use of such techniques to foreshadow upcoming events grates on viewers and readers. It can come across as redundant and unnecessary.
This is one simple way for Authorial Intrusion to play out:
"Now kids, this is something you don't want to even think of trying - at fourteen, Larry lit up his first cigarette and a year later, he was smoking marijuana."
This particular example really isn't needed in the context of the story. This is Jane's story, and you would want the readers to "dig in" - experience everything she feels as she goes through teaching her first class.
Ideally, Authorial Intrusions are a tool to be absolutely avoided, and use of such should be kept to a minimum when it comes to writing fiction. After selecting the Point of View in which you would be telling your story, it must remain consistent all throughout, and not always have to "break the fourth wall."
