A framed story is a story told by somebody. eg. the narrator is a real character telling the story to another character. In "Heart of Darkness" Marlowe tells his story to a group of sailors as they wait for the tide to turn. 'Frankenstein' is told by Dr. Frankenstein to the ship's captain as they are stuck in the arctic ice with nothing to do. The type of story has great freedom in giving flash-backs, explanations and even bouts of philosophizing.

A straight-line story is told as if the story were happening 'at the moment'.
