Hints

A narrative presents a connected series of events, either imaginary or based on your own experience, in a vivid descriptive style. It may be written in the first person (I/we) or third person (he/she, etc.) singular, and often includes the thoughts, reactions, etc of the main characters, describing the action as it would be seen through their eyes.

A good narrative should consist of:

4. an introduction which sets the scene (place, lime, character(s), etc), creates an interesting mood/atmosphere to make the reader want to continue reading, and/or begins dramatically to capture the reader’s attention;

5. a main body which develops the series of events clearly, gives vivid description of the people/places involved, etc, and

6. a conclusion which completes the story, perhaps in an unexpected way, and may describe people's feelings/reactions, the consequences of what happened, etc.
