The importance of using narration in order to reach
a desired audience is to put the audience into the story. With the correct use
of narration, the reader will be able to feel as if they are there, whether
that is in a desert, or in a magical school called Hogwarts. Using the British
accents of the characters, or the fact that, in order to reach the correct
platform, you have to run through a barrier that others would just walk past,
shows that the wizarding world of Harry Potter was hidden from society. Using
the setting, characters, theme, and plot are all necessary in putting together
a good story. Without narration, the readers would not be able picture how the
characters look, where they story is taking place, understand the meaning of
the story, or why it was being told in the first place, or what to take away
from the story. If there is a lesson to be learned, make sure the readers know
what it is.
The narrative tools are used to make audience feel
as if they can connect to the story. The book Twilight had thousands of
teenaged girls wishing that they could replace Bella Swan in the movie and have
their choice of either Jacob or Edward. By making the characters teenaged, that
is a suggestion for the desired audience. Is true love enough to give up everything
you’ve ever known, is another strong point made in that book. While I
understand that I am using references from Twilight, the same rules apply. A
book about taking a picnic with a magical dragon in the clouds would be well
suited for a younger audience, while a Bahama resort pamphlet with pictures of
hammocks and the white sandy beach would be more interesting to an adult in
need of a vacation. The choice of vocabulary and grammar are important too.
Smaller, less complicated words are easier for a younger audience to
understand, while adults are able to understand more compound, larger words.
