The difference between new narrative and literary narrative

The differences between news narrative and literary narrative are as follows:

1, purpose and focus: The main purpose of news narrative is to convey news information, focusing on the occurrence and development process of real events, which has strong timeliness and authenticity requirements. News narration focuses on reporting facts, restoring the truth and providing the public with the latest and most accurate information. Literary narration pays more attention to expressing emotions, portraying characters and plots, showing human nature and social phenomena through fictional stories and plots, and arousing readers' thinking and singing.

2. Methods and skills: The news narrative adopts direct and objective language, presents facts as much as possible, and avoids subjective colors and rhetorical devices. Journalists usually use linear narrative method to report according to the sequence of events. Literary narration often uses rhetorical devices such as metaphor, symbol and flashback, and highlights the development of emotion and plot through exaggeration, rendering and association, so as to attract readers and enhance the expressive force of works.

3. Readers and social influence: News narrative faces a wide audience and has a wide social influence. It needs to follow certain ethics and moral norms, respect the truth and avoid misleading and false information. Literary narration is more personalized, aiming at a specific group of readers, reflecting social phenomena and human nature through fictional stories and plots, and arousing readers' thinking and singing.

The order of narration:

1, Xu Shun: Xu Shun is one of the most common narrative methods, telling events in chronological order. This narrative method can make readers clearly understand the cause, process and result of the event, so as to better understand the development of the story and the behavior of the characters. Time narration is widely used in novels, essays, memoirs and other literary works.

2. Flashback: Flashback refers to bringing the end or key part of an event to the front and then telling it in chronological order. This narrative method can increase the suspense and attraction of the story and make readers pay more attention to the development and trend of the story. Flashback is widely used in novels, plays, movies and other literary works.

3. Insertion: Insertion means inserting some flashback elements in the narrative process, that is, temporarily interrupting the narrative and inserting some other relevant plot or background information in the narrative process. This narrative method can enrich the content and layering of the story and let readers know more about the characters, the background of the event and the social environment. Interpolation is widely used in novels, essays, memoirs and other literary works.
