Important Elements of Narrative (Blog 2B)

There are many important elements of narrative. Such as story grammers, setting, plot, characters, and theme. These main elements are often referred to as the backbone of a story. That is to say that they are the building blocks that make a good story. They are also very helpful in getting you started on writing a good story.

The main elements that I used in my last entry were setting and character, and how they relate to each other. The two characters which I used were the man on the surf board and the big shark. As we were able to see that the characters greatly influenced the setting. At first the setting was very peaceful and relaxing. But when you add in the shark it is less peaceful and makes us a bit uneasy about what is going to happen next. As you can see the characters of a story and the setting greatly influence each other.
