Narration is the act of telling a story or describing a sequence of events, either real or imaginary, in a spoken or written form. It is a fundamental aspect of storytelling and involves the use of words, images, and other elements to convey a series of events in a cohesive and engaging manner. Narration can take many different forms, including first-person, third-person, omniscient, and limited perspectives, and can be used in a variety of settings, such as literature, film, television, and journalism.
