Narrative has been penetrated deeply in our daily life, which is delivered by story-telling or talking about personal experience.

Another thing worth studying is narrator who does not equal to the author. There are at least two levels of narrator, text narrator and story narrator. The former is omniscient, and the latter is limited in knowledge of the whole novel.
