Narrative writing tells a story through a series of related events and experiences, deriving from the Latin word for "to tell" and Old French word for "knowing." It makes up the core of storytelling and can take the form of short stories, novels, biographies, fairy tales, fantasy, and detective stories. The purpose is to narrate a story with details in the sequence events occur and include complications to engage the reader. A good narrative involves readers, relates events in order, provides vivid descriptions, connects past to present, and has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
