A narrative generally consists of multiple events that are connected to each other through the process of telling the story.
Explanation:
It will often start out with what is called an exposition, which is the beginning of the story. This is where the main characters and settings are introduced. The exposition is followed by the rising action, where the story starts to pick up. This is the part in which the conflict and crisis in the story happen and slowly build up until it reaches the climax. The climax can be perceived as the most exciting part of the story, the most intense. This is the turning point for the main character in the story. After the climax comes the falling action, like the debris from the explosion caused by the climax. Things start to become less intense and sometimes one can start to predict the end. The final part of a narrative would be the resolution. The resolution is the "tying together of all the threads", the conclusion to the story. There is an ending in which the reader can see whether the main character succeeds or fails. This is one of the most crucial points (although all of them are important) as a story must have a closing and a way to wrap up all the events that have taken place, be it good or bad.
If the paper is about <em>grizzly bears, </em>then we do not need to know anything about black bears. Black bears shouldn't even be mentioned any where on the paper.
