Narrating is a basic writing strategy for representing actions and events. As the term’s Latin root, gnarus (“knowing”), implies, narrating also serves to help people make sense of events in their own lives as well as events they observe or read about. From earliest childhood, narrating helps us reflect on things that have happened, explain what is happening, and imagine what could happen.
