Narration is the most basic pattern of development which ultimately

happened. Its main purpose is to tell a story.
Components of Narration:
1. Logical Action – considered the very movements within the plot or
the narrative that drive the characters forward, be it during the
dialogue, or within a scene.
Examples:
“We saw …”
“He was standing …”
“We knew …”
2. Way of Narration – refers to how the writer presents the story.
Includes the pace by which scenes are given out.
 3. Terminology – places emphasis on the fact that concepts are
critical to the narration.
a. Concrete Terms – terms that have physical manifestation in our
world.
Examples: dog, spoon, house
b. Abstract Terns- refers to ideas or concepts that are intangible.
Examples: love, freedom, feminism
c. General Terms – commonly used to denote groups
Example: furniture
