Narrative writing

• Components of a Narrative

2
Narratives are Fictional

• Story telling
• Not real, imaginary, made up
• Opposite of non-fiction which is based on
  factual true events or information

3
Narratives have a beginning, middle and END

• Most narratives are structured using this type of
  format
• The plot is the related series of events

4
Narratives have a conflict and a Solution

• Usually a problem is introduced at the beginning
  of a narrative
• By the end of the story the problem is solved,
  but not always
• cliff hangers leave the reader wondering

5
Narratives have imaginary characters

• The Protagonist is the central (most important)
  character in the story
• The Antagonist usually stands in conflict against
  the protagonist

6
Narratives have Dialogue

• the speech of characters as opposed to that of
  the narrator
• Always in Quotation Marks
• Example.
• Stop bothering me! said Johnny.
