Narration Shows the chain of events in a story.
Narration is similar to description, which focuses on objects, and to definition, which focuses on concepts. Narration is useful to help readers see the details of events which are important to your topic. Narration will be found in some form in most essays either as an example or as a way to develop the context. Occasionally an essay will be written that is primarily narrative, or the writer will craft the essay in such a way that other modes are subordinate to narration.
