Types of Narration
1. Brief Narration
2. Detailed Narration
Brief Narration
This is also known as “clipped narration”, where the
writer only writes the most important event and gives
the general picture of what happened. This type of
narration is concise yet informative.
Ex.
I woke up from a nightmare. It was about
me trying to get home then I ended up
getting held tightly by a man. After that, I
found myself awake.
Paced Narration
This is also known as “paced narration”, where
the writer writes about each event and provides
specific details about what happened. This type of
narration is very vivid and complete.
Paced Narration
I woke up from a nightmare this morning. I was so scared because
it felt so real. There I was, passing in a dark and narrow alley on my
way home. There were no lights on, the moon was dark, the place
was so quiet, and only the sounds made by frogs and crickets can
be heard. I was very terrified but I courageously continued walking
until I realized that I count not see, to find our home. I was shaking
out of fear and panic, so I brought out my phone to call for help.
However, it ran out of battery already, so I could not use it at all.
Then, a man suddenly appeared and held my hands tightly. After
that, I found myself awake, tired, all sweaty, and crying.

Write description paragraph
This pattern of development in writing
involves putting the image of an object,
person, place, scene, or event into words.
It appeals to the reader’s senses and allows
them to experience what is being described
by the writer in terms of sight, smell,
hearing, touch, and/or taste.
DESCRIPTION
-also allows the relationship of the whole and its
parts and focuses on featuring the differences of
objects, people, places, scenes, or events with
the others of the same class. Logical order and
spatial order are commonly observed in
description.
“The dirt of the girls' cotton dresses continued on
their legs, feet, arms, and faces to make them all of a piece.
Their greasy uncolored hair hung down, uncombed, with a
grim finality. I knelt to see them better, to remember them
for all time. The tears that had slipped down my dress left
unsurprising dark spots, and made the front yard blurry and
even more unreal. The world had taken a deep breath and
was having doubts about continuing to revolve.”

-Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings


Types of Description
1.OBJECTIVE
This type is informative, scientific,
technical, and factual. Hence, it is
denotative in nature and no opinions or
emotions are injected in this type of
description.
My friend and I went to Sabang
Beach, one of the famous tourist spots in
Baler. Sabang Beach is a landform
alongside a body of water that the people
usually visit to go sunbathing, swimming,
or surfing. The water there is not as clear
as the water on the other beaches, but
the waves there are continuous and high
which attract a lot of tourists especially
those who are professional surfers and
enthusiasts alike.
2. SUBJECTIVE

-This type is suggestive or opinionated.


Hence, it is connotative in nature and
reveals the personal views and emotions
of the writer.
My friend and I went to Sabang Beach, one
of the famous tourist spots in Baler. Sabang Beach
is a beautiful place. A lot of people go there to
have fun and take photos with their friends and
family. It is a great place to relax and enjoy to
relieve stress from work. Children and adults alike
take surfing lessons on the beach and they look
like they are having a lot of fun despite falling of
surfboards a few times. A mountain full of tress
also serves as a beautiful backdrop of the beach
which can surely leave anyone in awe and take
their breath away.
