Let’s have some fun...
Everybody knows that studying can be boring sometimes. But if you join a little bit of imagination to your studying hours, you will learn and have fun at the same time. How to do it?? It can be easier than spell "Bourgeoisie”.
Let’s go!!
Imagine if you have to write your own Narrative text and you haven’t got much time to reading all the theories and books about how to create your own narrative… Your time is running and you felt you’re going crazy. Relax!!! We have the solution for your problem. What about listening to music or watch a movie??
You might thing I am crazy. But I am not and I’m going to tell you why.
Have you ever noticed that some song tells us stories and some of them are presented in a narrative way, as singer tells somebody else’s love story or fairy tales?? Sometimes the singer act is a kind of narrative character at the same time. And If you've ever watched The March of the Penquins, then you've no doubt heard Morgan Freeman narrate throughout the movie.
Let’s have a look at some narrative Songs!!
Taylor Swift, for instance, in her last video “The story of us” she tells a love story divided into chapters. Another Taylor’s song “Love story”, she tells the story Romeo & Juliet of modern times.
