The narrative style and method of narration has witnessed a remarkable development in recent years.

Narration, then, is the way in which the story is told, and it is considered an interactive art, in which expressions and words are used to form the literary text. It is also an ancient form of expressive art. The narrative also relies on elements of suspense to keep the listener's ear listening.
This type also depends on the imagination and imagination of the listener through a depiction of the events in the story.
Types of storytelling:
1. First person pronoun: The narrator tells his own story, as he is part of the characters in the event.

Storytelling depends on different forms to be presented in the appropriate and ideal way:
