Only then can the writer make the choices necessary to consciously and critically draft and revise. To be effective, a text must be developed and organized with a clear context and purpose in mind. Writers must first recognize the rhetorical context, the writing situation, and the purpose their text will serve in this particular context. Writers then need to articulate this purpose and choose specific rhetorical strategies which will achieve it. Depending on the writing context and the writer's thinking style, many writers draft first, then analyze their strategies.
All writers check and recheck their thinking strategies as they revise their work.
Narration is storytelling and is frequently paired with specific and concrete description in essays with an expressive purpose. It may be written in the first or third person point of view, in the past or present tense, and in chronological or non-chronological order. It may contain dialogue or be written in a conversational or non-standard voice. An introductory paragraph written to capture the reader's interest may be a descriptive narrative. An example used to support an idea may be a descriptive narrative too.
