STATION+TWO+Narrative+Writing

A good story shares sensory and emotional details with the reader. Your words need to be vivid and colorful to help the reader feel the same feelings that you felt.
====Elements of the story (plot, character, setting, climax, and ending) need to support the point you are making and you need to remember to make reference to that point in the first sentence. You should make use of conflict and sequence like in any story. You may use flashbacks and flash forwards to help the story build to a climax. It is usually written in the first person====
