What is the point of a Narrative

A narrative is a way for us to express in our own words what has happened. When we share these narratives people may learn something new about us. We tell stories because it gives us a voice. It lets people know how we feel about a person, place or situation. We tell stories to help understand each other better.  The point of telling a narrative is to leave the reader or listener with something. Maybe a moral. The reader should learn something new after reading your narrative.
