In literary works, authors utilize different narrative point of view to represent a story. As I know, most of them involves first person narrator and third person narrator. Consequently, the effect of the two ways are different. First person narrator could enable readers to engage into the character together and enjoy a sense of reality. And third person narrator could have a lot of thematic options and tend to directly receive clues. Plus, descriptions of plots are added into works in different ways like flashback that making structure impressive. A movie I watched called “Forrest Gump” is displayed as first person narrator. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a slow-witted but kind man who created some amazing stories witnesses several historical events in the United States as well as conveys a kind of spirit. The development of plots naturally comes along with a sense of intimacy and reality.

The plot definitely plays an important role in a narrative. It interacts with narrative and make the literary work as a whole. The structure would be modified leading to an interesting and detailed thing. In addition, it guides us to think and analyze things in various dimensions.
