Question

What's a good way to start a narrative story?

Answer 1

How so?

Answer 2

Should I start my story by addressing the setting? I'm just kind of unsure of how to approach the beginning of my story.

Answer 3

I don't know. You could start like that. You can start any way you like, as long as you remember you're the narrator.

Answer 4

I have my exposition written out in a chart, I'm just stuck I guess.

Answer 5

Oh. Well wanna spitball some ideas?

Answer 6

Well my topic is: You are a guest at Macbeth’s coronation; during dinner, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost. Using first person point of view, write a narrative that tells a story about the events at the coronation.

Answer 7

And for my exposition I put the setting in there, and that Macbeth killed Banquo. So I need to start off with one of the two.

Answer 8

You should do the setting first.

Answer 9

I think so too.

Answer 10

Tell how eerie or surprisingly normal the scene around the two looked.

Answer 11

Answer 12
