Narrative structures
1. The narrative structure type that is featured in my book is referred to
is an “closed narrative”. This is because the storyline draws to a close
and reaches a conclusion. Most feature length films are also closed
narrative types. This is because the story ends when the film’s running
time is over. The opposite to a closed narrative is an open narrative.
These are storylines that do not reach a conclusion it keeps going on
and on. The storyline is ended temporarily with a cliffhanger. A good
example of this narrative type is Soap Operas. This is because they
stretch the storyline out over multiple episodes.
The story of my book is a linear storyline. This means that the story
starts at the beginning and ends at the end. It is one straight line and
does not divert. All of the events happen in order and each step
follows the next. It is a very simple method but it is also very
popular. There are also Non-Linear narratives; these do not go through
the story in a straight-line. They often feature skips in time and
flashbacks. This means that the story is not in order. An example of a
Non-Linear narrative would be Pulp Fiction and Memento.
My story is a single strand storyline. This means that there is only one
story going on at one time. This is because if there were more
storylines and factors the reader may find it hard to understand and
because my audience is children, they will not be able to cope with
more than one storyline. Most children’s books are good examples of
single strand storylines. However multi-strand narratives, whilst
complicated, are extremely effective. Multi-strand narratives feature
multiple storylines going on simultaneously. TV shows such as: The
Walking Dead and Breaking Bad are great examples of this. This
technique keeps the audience invested in every character and their
story arcs.
The children’s book I have created is an Anti-Realist book. This involves
characters locations, which are highly unlikely if not impossible to find
in real life. Examples include: Narnia, Star wars, Game of Thrones etc.
I believe that this is better than “Realist” narratives because they
allow for more wiggle room when it comes to imagination. Realist
2. narratives are reflections of real life. They are believable events that
could actually happen in real life to anyone. Realist Narratives are
usually set in people’s day-to-day lives. Some good examples are:
Eastenders, Coronation Street, Waterloo Road etc.
I have used a good opening in my book. This is because it immediately
sets the tone and the pace of the book. This is good because it tells
the audience where the characters are in life as well as time. There is
only a short amount of conflict in the book. There is a small dispute
with a giant that is resolved fairly quickly. Conflict adds some diversity
and makes the reader pay attention and become interested in the
book. There is no climax to the book, it just ends on a happy, uplifting
note. There is no need for a massive conclusion as it is just a small
children's book.
