How Does Difference Between Story And Narrative - Adam Argot Work?

A story is like a toy box full of pieces, and narrative is how you put those pieces together to make something fun to play with.

Story is what happens, it's the characters, the events, the cool things that go on. Think of it like the colorful blocks in your toy box: there’s a red block named Lila, a blue block named Zak, and a green block called the big tree.

Narrative is how you tell the story, it's like the way you stack those blocks to make a tower or a bridge. It includes things like who tells the story, when it happens, and even how fast everything moves. So if Lila goes on an adventure, narrative might say she runs really fast or takes her time climbing up the big tree.

How They Work Together

Imagine you have the same blocks, Lila, Zak, and the big tree, but one day, you tell the story like it's a race, and another day, like it's a quiet walk in the park. That’s how story and narrative work together, they’re both important, but they do different jobs!
