#### 3.4 Structuring and narrative

Narrative devices, use this terminolgy, it shows the examiner that you know what your talking about.
- **Story arc**: has a beginning, middle and end, and has a resolution.
- **Dual narrative**: where two sides of the story are given, and the text alternates between the two. There is a purpose to this, is it to convince the reader of one side or the other?
- **Flash-back**: Short stories that preceded the main story, there purpose is to add more context or an explanation why something is happening in the main story.
- **Circular narrative**: the last line of the text takes you back the beginning.
