IntroductionNarrative writing


BodyNarrative Writing

The middle of the story.

Characters are developed and events show sequence with heightened suspense and climax.

There is something intriguing about the number 3! It is more effective than its neighbors. Two doesn’t seem to be enough and four seems to be too much!

3 Little Pigs3rd time is a charm.3 lights on a stop light3 Branches of government 3 strikes you’re out!3 Stooges

An effective paper has 3 ideas in the body section. It is the perfect amount of information or detail!

The Power of 3

An author often creates suspense and a climax to a story to keep the readers’ interest. In Cinderella, the author increases the suspense when Cinderella shows up to the ball and dances with the prince. The suspense climbs even more when the clock strikes 12 and Cinderella loses her shoe. The story climaxes when the prince tries to place the shoe on her foot.

Increasesuspense

Climax!!!-the point of the highest emotion/tension

Suspense/Climaxnarrative writing


two kinds of traits

Outside Traits- Physical traits that you can see. (blonde, tall, dirty clothes, messy hair)

Inside Traits- How the character feels or acts. (bossy, lonely, mysterious, thoughtful, clumsy)

Character Traits

Develop characters throughout a story.Did they change in any way? Were they bossy at the beginning and then caring towards the end? Did something happen to cause this change?

What do the characters say? Choose dialogue between characters carefully. Too much dialogue can be very confusing.

Never say the obvious.Skip the meet and greet. When characters speak, something should be happening and the plot progressing. Conflict between characters is a great place to add dialogue, but balance it with action! Use dialogue to reveal a character’s personality.

Dialogue


What do the characters say? Choose dialogue between characters carefully. Too much dialogue can be very confusing.

Never say the obvious. Joi said, “I was at the park too. There were slides and swings and monkey bars.”

Skip the meet and greet. “Hi James,” he said. James replied, “Hello there!”

When characters speak, something should be happening and the plot progressing. Conflict between characters is a great place to add dialogue, but balance it with action! Tim screamed, “You stole my purple pen!” As he marched over to Lucy, she folded her arms.

Use dialogue to reveal a character’s personality. Lisa criticized, “Did you see that girl’s ugly dress? I would never wear that!”

Dialogue


Conclusion

The readers should be reminded of the main idea and feel that the story has come to a full circle with an ending.
