Elements of Narrative

      In a narrative there are many complex elements that are necessary to make it flow and connect it with an audience. Some of the elements that come to mind are character, theme, plot, and setting. There are many more elements of a narrative, but one that I feel has great importance is character. I feel that the character of a narrative, their personality, their problems, their reactions and their thought process impact the other elements in a huge way.
      One example of how the character can impact a narrative is actually from a children's story called Little Miss Helpful. Little Miss Helpful is a character who is always trying to help others, but ends up always messing things up. She is stubborn in the fact that she insists on helping even when the other characters don't want her help due to her reputation of not being helpful at all. Little Miss Helpful has a big heart and tries with all her might but she is clumsy and really not a bit helpful. When Little Miss Helpful tries to tie Mr. Tall's shoes and accidentally ties them together causing him to take a huge fall, and when she tries to clean Mr. Happy's house when he's sick and ends up tripping  on all of the pots and pans, falling into the refrigerator, and getting a bucket stuck on her head, finally to send a sick Mr. Happy flying out of his own home into a river when he tries to help her get the bucket off of her head are great examples of how the character of Little Miss Helpful has an impact on almost every other aspect of this story.
