A narrative is a story that includes plot, characters, setting, climax and resolution. Linear narratives present stories in a logical manner by telling what happens from one point in time to the next without using flashbacks or flash-forwards and then returning to the present.
Beginning, Middle and End
Linear narratives live up to their name, meaning you could draw a straight line from the beginning to the end of a story. These narratives start the story at the beginning and tell consecutive events until the finale.
An example of a linear narrative is Soap Opera's. Soap Operas rarely jumps around with time and they aim at actuality, representing real life as it is lived and experienced.
