| | Poynter Online - What is Narrative, Anyway? |
 | | Narrative is what I come up with when I put my niece to bed and she says, "Tell me a story." I tell her a story, I don't tell her an article. | | | Entire books, many of them, have been written to explain what narrative is. Here's a brief overview I just wrote for a writing textbook I'm revising for Bedford Books, "Convergences." I can't explain narrative in 25 words or less or even in a neat punch-line quip. | | | The narrative writer reveals the story so the reader watches and comes to the reader's own conclusions about the significance of the events the reader has observed. |

| | Multivariant narrative |
| | The epistemological issue was a critique of the alleged blindness of classical narrative to the complexity of the problem of truth: facts are asserted by authoritative narrators as a matter of absolute knowledge, and the reader is asked to take the text as the canonical version of the world. | | | Rather than being necessarily pre-encoded in a semiotic body, moreover, narrative scripts can be dynamically generated during the performance of a text through a simulation of actions and events. | | | After several loops through the program, all that is left of the original story are bits and pieces of an aleatory collage, as the text is invaded by fragments of other texts that may point towards, but never fully tell their own stories. |

| | One such circumstance arises when a character in a story begins to tell a story of his or her own, creating a narrative within a narrative, or a tale within a tale. | | | Logically enough, the most radical reduction of narrative voice comes when the text presents nothing but a direct quotation of a reflector's thoughts -- as in the form of an 'interior monologue' (N8.9). | | | Recipe no. 1 gives you what narratologists call a homodiegetic narrative: You select one of the story's characters and let her/him tell it as a tale of personal experience. |

| | In a prose work of fiction, the climax often resembles that of the classical comedy, occurring approximately two-thirds to three-quarters of the way through the text or performance, after the rising action and before the falling action. | | | While the novel, short story, poetry and drama are the focus of much literary analysis, late 20th century literary criticism also recognizes the important similarities, including the climax, of new genres like the feature film. | | | The principles involved generally remain important in modern narrative literature, and include identification of the climax. |
