A narrative is a story. Narrative writing simply means story writing. And just as there are conventions and rules to follow when composing other kinds of texts, narrative writing has its own conventions. Some of the vital ingredients needed to create a story are plot, character, setting and dialog. Beyond those, a writer should check that the story makes sense and keeps the reader engaged. Simple, right?
See how well you understand narrative by trying this quiz.
1 .
Which one of the following would be a good reason to add a passage of descriptive writing in your narrative?
It's best if the reader can picture the setting exactly, in every detail
Well-chosen description adds to the setting, the mood or a character
A descriptive passage is good because it will make the story longer
Every piece of narrative writing must have a long passage of description
Never add anything to your writing just for the sake of filling space - make your words relevant and put them to work!
