What is an example of a short narrative story?

Answer 1

A narrative is just a way of recounting something or telling a story.

A narrative has an Orientation, where the scene is set. You know, the who what when where why of it all.

That's followed by a complication, which sets things in motion.

There's a climax where everything builds up to a certain, exciting point and then a resoloution where all the loose ends are tied off.

Answer 2

narrative is a story

More particularly a narrative is that part of the story where the narrator is speaking. That is, those parts of the story where the action, setting, and characters are not interacting with the reader but instead the narrator is talking to the reader.

eg.

"Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed...."

"Once upon a time a long time ago in a place far, far away....."

Answer 3

A short story is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot" (taken from merriam-webster.com). A few examples of short stories are "A Glass of Milk" by Manuel Rojas, "The Piece of String" by Henri-Rene-Albert Guy de Maupassant, and "To Build a Fire" by John Griffith "Jack" London.

Hope it helps!

Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a kind-hearted farmer named John. One day, while plowing his fields, he stumbled upon a wounded bird. John nursed the bird back to health, and in return, the bird guided him to a hidden treasure buried in the fields. From that day on, John's farm flourished, and he lived happily ever after.
