WHAT STYLE GUIDE DO I USE

NARRATION

Narration is the use of a written or spoken commentary to convey a story to an audience. Narration encompasses a set of techniques through which the creator of the story presents their story, including:

1. narrative point of view

the perspective (or type of personal or non-personal "lens") through which a story is communicated

2. narrative voice

the format (or type presentational form) through which a story is communicated

3. narrative time

the grammatical placement of the story's time-frame in the past, the present, or the future
