Methods Of Narration Between The Story Of Childrens And Adults

Abstract

Every story tells a main event from which minor events branch out, and both stories may narrate a single event; however, they differ completely in how they convey and structure the events artistically and technically. This is due to the narrative technique, which is the fundamental element and central technique in constructing any story. Narration is the process of transferring an event from its realistic form to its linguistic form, and it is the method chosen by the narrator or storyteller to present their events.

Narration relies on a set of elements, including time, place, characters, and events. It also utilizes various techniques, such as exposition, description, and dialogue. Since narration is the backbone of the story and the basis for its construction and arrangement, it represents the author's creativity and uniqueness on one hand, and the source of differentiation between each story on the other hand. Therefore, in this research paper, we aim to uncover the narrative techniques in a number of children's and adult stories, highlighting the significant points of divergence and agreement between them, which often determine the story's target audience and purpose.
