what is the purpose of narrative writing?
Continuing on our guides for the upcoming NAPLAN tests is our guide for writing narratives. Narrative writing tells a story. The main purpose of a narrative is to entertain a reader, but stories can also contain a universal theme or moral, or teach the reader a lesson. The stories can either be imaginative or realistic. Narrative text types include, for example, fairy tales, adventures, legends, myths, mysteries and fables.
