What Is A Narrative?
Spend a few minutes on your blog coming up with a list of the characteristics of a narrative. Include what a narrative is and does, and also consider writing about your experiences with narratives (reading them, writing them, etc.).
To me a narrative is basically telling a story and forwarding important information and ideas. According to my IPC 418 class (Communication Ethics) it is taking parts of other famous stories and putting them together to make a new one. The familiarity of the stories helps to make the new one recognizable and cohesive. Examples of this are Star Wars, Epic Movie, Scary Movie, and Not Another Teen Movie. While these are good examples a narrative does not have to be a movie or written…it can be done with a variety of different medias.

I agree, I said that a narrative is basically telling a story too. I never knew that those movies were considered narratives. That is really interesting! Good luck with your narrative 🙂
