Narrative techniques are the methods writers use to tell a story. One common technique is 'point of view,' which is how the story is told, like from a character's perspective or an outside narrator. For example, in the book 'Harry Potter,' the story is mostly told from Harry's point of view, allowing readers to see his thoughts and feelings. Another technique is 'dialogue,' which is when characters speak to each other. This helps bring the story to life and shows how characters interact. By using these techniques, writers can make their stories more engaging and help readers connect with the characters.
