A narrative is an ordered account of real or fictitious events that are relatively coherent. It is possible to find narratives from the most remote vestiges of extinct civilizations that bequeathed us precious and elaborate testimonies of their culture.
The first narrations that were recorded in writing come from oral traditions disseminated in advance. For example, both the Iliad and the Odyssey constitute a transfer to the writing of songs that related a story. What today is considered literature is in part the evolution of these first sketches of written narratives.
Another example of storytelling can be given by history, although in this case referring to verifiable events through sources. Obviously, since it is a discipline that aims to achieve a significant degree of rigor, other guidelines will be added to follow in addition to those of a conventional story. Like the fictional narrative, the origin of the story must be traced back to ancient times.
A widely publicized criterion on the organization of a narrative is the division into introduction, knot and ending. This approach is especially useful to analyze a fiction. Thus, the introduction would be constituted by the basic presentation of characters and environment, the knot by the elaboration of a conflict and the denouement by the conclusion where the difficulties are resolved. Some of these items may be missing or have their order altered, but your application serves as a general overview.
It is important to note that the act of narrating is a way of transmitting experiences and experiences among peers and that is far from being a task for specialists, being on the contrary an intrinsic fact to the communication capacity of the human being. The act of making a narrative has as an ethical facet that the experiences shared by the story prevent the mistakes of the past from multiplying in the future and that the successes are repeated.
