“Crafting a Captivating Fictional Narrative”

Elements of a Fictional Narrative
A fictional narrative is a story about an imagined experience. The elements of such narratives are invented by their authors. A fictional narrative may feature a narrator who is part of the story or a narrator who is a detached observer of the action.
A well-written fictional narrative usually contains these elements:
⚫ a clear and consistent point of view
• well-developed characters
⚫ a smooth sequence of events or experiences, which may include flashbacks, subplots, or frame stories
• effective use of dialogue, description, and/or reflection to develop the story
• sensory language and precise, descriptive details to clarify experiences
a conclusion that brings the story to a satisfying close
