Internet is no help and I've been getting different answers from different people so I thought I'd ask here.

If I'm writing a story in first person, would I write my narration exactly like the main character's dialogue, or would I write the narration with better grammar spelling?

For example if my character has the following dialect

>"We went shoppin' and then went ridin' 'round town"

would the narration be

>Chase went 'round the corner before bringin' back a book

or

>Chase went around the corner before bringing back a book

pic unrelated
