ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Narrative

Narrative is like telling a story. It's kind of like when you play make believe with your friends. You each have a character and you decide together what will happen in the story. In narrative, somebody might tell the story about a character like a princess or pirate, and tell us what happened to them. They also tell us what the character feels and thinks. So, it's like you're getting inside the character's head and seeing everything from their point of view.
