Narrative techniques are a set of tools and strategies that writers use to create compelling and engaging stories. They can be used in any type of writing, from fiction to non-fiction, and can help writers to create more vivid and memorable characters, settings, and events. There are many different narrative techniques, but some of the most common include:
Point of View
The point of view is the perspective from which the story is told. It can be first person (the narrator is a character in the story), second person (the narrator is speaking directly to the reader), or third person (the narrator is an outside observer). The point of view can have a significant impact on the tone and mood of the story.
