Narrations and essays are two different literary styles. The main difference lies in the writing purpose, expression and writing methods. The purpose of writing a narrative was to describe, narrate, and portray characters, events, and plots so that the readers could feel the author's emotions and thoughts. Narrations usually used narrative language to show the story through specific events and scenes, paying attention to details and the creation of characters. The purpose of prose is broader. It can be used to describe, narrate, and portray things. It can also be used to express the author's thoughts and feelings or to explore a certain topic. Prose usually uses a description of the language, focusing on emotional expression and the interpretation of the meaning of the idea, emphasizing the integrity and logic of the article. In terms of expression, narrative and prose had different ways of expression. Narrations usually used narrative language to show the story through specific events and scenes, paying attention to details and the creation of characters. Prose, on the other hand, pays more attention to expressing the author's feelings and thoughts. It uses a more free and flexible language to express the author's feelings and thoughts. The writing style of a narrative was also different from that of a prose. Narrations usually used events and scenes as clues to describe the story. Prose, on the other hand, used a certain theme or emotion as a clue to achieve the purpose of expression through the adjustment of the internal structure of the article and the use of language. Narrations and essays are both excellent literary styles with their own unique characteristics and charms. Different writing purposes, expressions and writing methods also give them different literary values.
