Narrative techniques

Many writters have their own way of how they write a novel, because they have different narattive techniques. Now I will make a short review of some of them.

1. Point of view:  it refers to 'Who tells the story?'

• Narrator
• Reader
• Someone looking outside.

2. Narration: it refers to 'Who is the narrator speaking to?'

• Direct
• Frame
• Indirect

3. Speech: it refers to 'How do the narrator and the characters of a story speaks?'

• Direct
• Reported 
• Free indirect

4. Tense: it refers to 'When did the events of a story happens?'

• Past
• Present
• Future

For other side also we have the Flashback, that is mainly use in dreams or in retelling of memories. Also the foreshadowing, third person omniscent (God) and dual narrative.
