Class discussion-leading class- Narration

What's the difference between description and narration?

*Description lists the appearance, smell, mood, or other characteristics of something.
*Descriptive text might account the appearance of a person or, the details of a location,
or some other element that lets you immerse yourself into the story.
*Descriptive text adds the details that help you visualize the characters and events in your
mind's eye. It quite literally describes a person, place, or thing.


*Narration is the act of giving an account.
*The narrator is the person or entity within a story that tells the story to the reader.
*First-person narration presents the story from the viewpoint of one of the characters.
*Third-person narration presents events from the viewpoint of the writer,
as if watching the story.
*Generally, third-person narrative allows the writer to comment on characters and
events to the readers, while first-person narrative unfolds as the narrator sees,
or comes to understand, the events.
