The Narrative

The importance of narrative is to support a logical argument. The narrative is a sequence of events that fall in a chronological order. Its purpose is to tell a story of what, why, whom and how. It can be formulated with a plot, theme, characters, and setting. These parts can make easier for you, as the author, to relay your story.

The narrative uses rhetorical tools to reach a desired audience by a triangle. In this triangle there consists the rhetor, the text, and audience. They all interact to create the flow of the narrative. The rhetor is the author, who through the use of descriptive writing expresses a life experience. The rhetor knows that we learn through life experiences, but to reach the reader they must discover there audience through culture, and the time frame. The text can be the object of focus, either being visual, or even oral. All the angles of the narrative triangle must meet for the story to end in a proper way.
