Fiction-writing modes

So, you know when you play pretend games with your friends and you make up interesting stories and characters? That's kind of like fiction-writing. People who want to write interesting and engaging stories can use different modes or styles to tell their stories.

One mode is called "narrative mode." This means the writer tells the story from a certain perspective, like they're looking in on the characters' lives. They might use first person (like "I" or "we") or third person (like "he" or "she") to do this.

Another mode is "descriptive mode." This is when the writer describes what is happening in the story using a lot of details. They might talk about the colors of the characters' clothing or the sounds they hear in the background.

Another mode is called "dialogue mode." This is when the characters in the story talk to each other. It's like when you talk to your friends and pretend you're different people.

Lastly, there is "expository mode." This is when the writer tells the reader about something in the story, like the history of a place or the background of a character. It's like giving extra information that the reader might not know otherwise.

So, when a writer uses these different modes in their writing, they can create a really cool and interesting story that you'll want to keep reading and talking about with your friends.
