I am not sure you mean the word "imply." That would mean that the reader has to draw conclusions based on what is in the story, assuming there are no direct statements. First person uses the "I" form of the story. That means that the character can only give information from his point of view without thought to anyone else. You - 2nd person - hints that the reader is being addressed by the characters, almost as if the reader is a character in the novel. This person - he, she, it, they, them, and so on - is told as if one is observing the action. There are two types of third person: limited - simply descriptive and observational; omniscient - the narrator can see both the exterior of the scene and the interior of the characters' minds. Decide for yourself which points of view Twain uses and how that builds the story from many sides.
