narration techniques

Narration techniques are methods writers use to tell a story and guide the reader's experience. These include first-person narration, where the story is told from a character's perspective using "I"; third-person limited, where the narrator focuses on one character’s thoughts and feelings; and third-person omniscient, where the narrator knows everything about all characters. Techniques also involve the tone and style of storytelling, like using flashbacks to show past events or unreliable narrators to create suspense. These tools help shape how information is revealed and influence how readers connect with the story and its characters.
