A narrative is a literary genre that usually uses time as a clue to describe a person's or an event's personal experience or observation. Time was usually an important element in a narrative, and it was used to describe the occurrence, development, and ending of events. Narrations could be arranged in a temporal order or in the order of events. In the case of a timeline, the development of a story is usually a gradual process. Every event will affect the subsequent story. In the case of a sequence of events, the development of the story usually happens suddenly and then through a series of events to show the ending. Narrations could be written in many ways, such as description, dialogue, action, and so on. These techniques could be used to portray characters, display scenes, and promote the development of the plot. Many of the writing techniques needed to be chosen according to the specific situation and purpose of the writing. Narrations could be simple narrations, imaginative sci-fi, or emotional literature. Different narrative styles can bring different reading experiences, but they all require the author to be able to express the story with sincere emotions and detailed descriptions.
