Journal 6

My favorit parts of chapter 17 are the different criterias need for a good narrative.

These parts are the Depection of Events through time, Connectiveness, Tension/conflict, and Resolution. All of these are critical aspects in writing narratives.

The tension in particular is the main component which keeps a reader interested. The tension must serve the function of engaging the reader by building up events until a final climax point.

The resolution is also important in tying the reading togheter. Without a clear conclusion, the reader is left without gaining any real information or substance. The resolution must be a retrospective of the essay and connect them in a meaningful way.
