What is a narrative?

What is a narrative?
                Narrative is a story. It is an easy flowing read that usual starts with a thesis that explains what the narrative is about, the thesis tells what is going to be in the narrative and the order. Then there is the body of the narrative which tells in chronological order everything that was stated in the thesis. It is important to use clear and complete sentences when writing your story. The story needs to have a conclusion at the end with a summary of what was talked about in the body and the ending result.

                There are many different types of narratives, some tell a story, some are informative, there are argumentative ones, or ones to persuade into believing the opinion of the author.  It is also very important to understand your audience so you can use proper wording, and formatting. For example if you’re writing to children you are not going to use large words, or examples they wouldn’t understand. Narratives are meant to catch attention and make the reader want to read on to find out the end result.
