One of my Intro to Fiction students, in response to a question about how the short story "Paul's Case" (which ends with a young man throwing himself under a train) would be different if it had been narrated in first person:

"Obviously, it would have ended with the words 'ow, my face!'."

Comments

And those words would have been preceeded by a loud scream.

"Aaaaaahhhh! Ow, my face!"

I know I shouldn't say this seeing how the story does not have a happy ending.
