An Overview of Narrative Techniques: "Story Telling"

By: Kisak, Paul F.

A narrative technique (also known, more narrowly for literary fictional narratives, as a literary technique, literary device or fictional device) is any of several specific methods the creator of a narrative uses to convey what they mean to say. In todays' media you will hear the term of controlling the narrative. This is due to the fact that perspectives and agendas differ, especially in the political arena. Learn the techniques of this book and it will revolutionize the way you understand and communicate ideas. In other words, the 'spinning' or control of the narrative being communicated, is a strategy used in the making of a narrative to relay information to the audience and, particularly, to "develop" the narrative, usually in order to make it more complete, complicated, interesting or sell an agenda which can range from propaganda to a religious belief. Literary techniques are distinguished from literary elements, which exist inherently in works of writing. This book is designed to be a reference and provide an overview of the topic and give the reader a structured knowledge to familiarize yourself with the topic at the most affordable price possible. The accuracy and knowledge is of an international viewpoint as the edited articles represent the inputs of many knowledgeable individuals and some of the most current knowledge on the topic, based on the date of publication.
