Write a Better Narrative

In the last 4 years of doing peer review during English nine through twelve I can tell you that writing a narrative takes not only structure and composition, but interest and emotion to captivate the reader. You have to want to write the narrative and have some level of interest to your topic for it to make sense and be enjoyable to the reader.
 The basics that underlie your narrative are story grammars as presented in the last blog as well as the usual grammar and composition. However, what actually makes the narrative great are the little bits of information that capture the reader and bring them into the story. As stated in class, you could use flashbacks of awesome events that happened previously in your life or you could flash forward to the desired future you wish to make the story more interesting.
When you put all of these things together; the story grammars, composition, and other extra bits of information, it can make what seemed to be an average narrative, into a great one.
