A '''narrative''' or story is created in a variety of formats - written, spoken, poetry, prose, images, song, [[Theatre|theater]] or [[dance]] that describe a sequence of fictional or non-fictional events.  It derives from the [[Latin]] verb ''narrare'', which means "to recount" and is related to the adjective ''gnarus'', meaning "'''knowing'''" or "'''skilled'''". (Ultimately derived from the [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] root ''gnō-'', "to know".[http://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE177.html]  The word "story" may be used as a synonym of "narrative", but can also be used to refer to the sequence of events described in a narrative.  A narrative can also be told by a character within a larger narrative.  An important part of narration is the ''narrative mode''.
