Narrative and Description Paragraph

Paragraph is a group of sentences that develop a single point, idea or topic. Before you make a paragraph, you should know what type of paragraph that you are going to make. The types of paragraph are narrative, descriptive, comparison and contrast, definition, explanatory, etc. Now, we are going to discuss about the differences between 2 types of paragraph, they are narrative and descriptive paragraph.

The first difference between narrative and descriptive paragraph is about the content. Narrative is story writing. When you write a narrative paragraph, you write about events in the order that they happen. However, descriptive paragraph is a writing appeal to the sense, so it tells how something looks, feels, smells, tastes, and/or sounds. The example for narrative is when you tell about an event or you experience in your writing. The example for descriptive is when you try to describe a place or a person in your writing, and make the readers are able to imagine about the writing.

Next difference between narrative and descriptive is about the organization of the paragraph. In narrative paragraph, the writer use “time order” to tell what happened first, what happened next, what happened after that, and so on. In contrast, the writer of descriptive use “spatial order”, it is the arrangement of items in order by space. The examples for “time order” in narrative are now, first, second, later, soon, finally, at last, after that, before that, etc. However the examples for “spatial order” are at the top of, in the center, on the left, on front of, next to, between, etc.

The last difference of narrative and descriptive is about the compound sentence in sentence structure. In narrative the sentences compounded by and, but, so, and or. And joins sentences that are alike, but joins sentences that are opposite or show contrast, so joins sentences when the second sentence expresses the result of something described in the first sentence, or joins sentences that give choices or alternatives. However, in descriptive the sentences compounded by yet, for, and nor. Yet has the approximately the same meaning as but, for has the same meaning as because, nor means “not this and not that”, use nor to join two negative sentences.

So, there are 3 differences of narrative and descriptive paragraph. The first difference between narrative and descriptive paragraph is about the content, Next difference is about the organization of the paragraph, and the last is about the compound sentence in sentence structure.
