Abbot’s article specifically talks about narrative and life in the first chapter of the book. He said that communication does not have to have words or speech really captures my attention. Explaining this idea, he used an example “I fell down the child cries and in the process tells her mother a little narrative”. This line interests me because I believe there are a couple ways. One, you could use your hands and gestures as if you are driving a car while using facial expressions and body language furrowed brows, raised shoulders to indicate that you are asking a question. Another way could be to draw a picture of a car. This could help someone to show you find your way to the rental cars (Herman, L., & Vervaeck, B. 2005).

An example of my personal experience is seen in the image bellow which creates a narrative of a lion chasing a gazelle. A person viewing this image needs not to be told the event taking place in words. An important part of narration is the narrative mode, the set of methods used to communicate the narrative through a process narration.
