About chapter six “Narrative” by Jonathan Culler, I want to discuss of the animated movie called A Summer Day’s Dream，The story tells that before the upcoming celebration in a village, much things were stolen in different locations at same time. We followed the main character, Hakurei Reimu, to explore the truth and get to meet the people live in the village.  I think the difference between film and novel, the director more use the picture to narrative in movie. The audience can get information from the light and shade of the picture or scene changes, rarely needs to use their imagination to what the character or the events like, even the story is not straightforward and unconnected.

I agree with Jonathan Culler explained the narrative should somehow bring pleasure to the reader and be connected with desire in the “What stories do” section.When the readers are following the story,  they are satisfied with their curiosity and sense of participation.
