Question

Write short note on Narration Method.

Answer 1

Narration is the use of a written or spoken commentary to convey a story to an audience.[1] Narration encompasses a set of techniques through which the creator of the story presents their story, including:

Narrative point of view the perspective (or type of personal or non-personal "lens") through which a story is communicated

Narrative voice[: the format through which a story is communicated

Narrative time: the grammatical placementof the story's time-frame in the past, the present, or the future.

A narrator is a personal character or a non-personal voice that the creator (author) of the story develops to deliver information to the audience, particularly about the plot. In the case of most written narratives (novels, short stories, poems, etc.), the narrator typically functions to convey the story in its entirety. The narrator may be a voice devised by the author as an anonymous, non-personal, or stand-alone entity; as the author as a character; or as some other fictional or non-fictional character appearing and participating within their own story. The narrator is considered participant if he/she is a character within the story, and non-participant if he/she is an implied character or an omniscient or semi-omniscient being or voice that merely relates the story to the audience without being involved in the actual events. Some stories have multiple narrators to illustrate the storylines of various characters at the same, similar, or different times, thus allowing a more complex, non-singular point of view.

Narration encompasses not only who tells the story, but also how the story is told (for example, by using stream of consciousnessor unreliable narration). In traditional literary narratives (such as novels, short stories, and memoirs), narration is a required story element; in other types of (chiefly non-literary) narratives, such as plays, television shows, video games, and films, narration is merely optional.

Answer 2

Narrative technique is one of the literary devices in which the author communicates what he intends to with help of a story outline. Mostly narrative method is used in prose works. There are different types of narration methods and they are epistolary wherein the book takes the form of a series of long letters.

Next is autobiographical which is the story told in the first person. Omniscient is the story which is told by the third person who is considered to be all known. Internal monologue is the next type of narration which expresses the inner flow of thoughts. The other forms of narrative methods are recollection of memory, wherein the story is told as if it happened in distant past.

Narration is the appealing method to all types of audiences because basically humans are interested in listening to the experiences of another person in a narrative form.
