    Posters, please refer to the post of Clough.

    We'd like to know in which context are you asking those questions.

    Is it when you are writing essays? Well, you'll find that the narrative essays are among the easiest essays to write and give the most freedom to one writing the essay. You can write things that include fantasy and science fiction, whatever you think will be interesting. Of course, in any essay you write, there should be some logic behind it.

    You are being trained to develop your writing skills, so that later on, when you have to draft reports about a certain work, write something about yourself for a job appointment, you can write it well, with the correct language and level of language. Later on, you'll turn towards argumentative essays, which are more difficult. They require that you know some concrete facts, news around the world to support your points put forward.

    Just enjoy writing your essays now, they might not be so enjoyable later on. I know so many friends who cannot properly write a proper argumentative essay.

    Hi, Atienza!

    Is it a question that needs to be answered because it's being asked in a class that you're taking or for some other reason, please?

    Thanks!

A narrative can also be told by a character within a larger narrative. An important part of narration is the narrative mode, the set of methods used to communicate the narrative through a process called narration.
