The narration mode of discourse uses storytelling, and therefore, narrative essays are anecdotal, experiential, and personal - allowing the writer to express himself or herself in a creative and oftentimes, moving way. Rather than facts, statistics, and evidence, narration allows the writer to provide personal insights, anecdotes, and other experiential examples for a variety of purposes.
Narration chronicles a series of events or plot, usually in chronological sequence. The narrative essay is conversational in style and subjective in tone. The point of view is often first-person or third-person and the topic can be a single, life-shaping event or a mundane, daily experience.
The plot is how the author arranges events to develop his basic idea. It is the sequence of events in a story or play. The plot is a planned, logical series of events having a beginning, middle, and end. The short story usually has one plot so it can be read in one sitting.
