Review the video before attempting the discussion/assignment. The previous video from the pages section taught us that a narrative tells a story. A narrative can be personal, biographical, or fictional. The plot of a narrative includes the settings, characters, point of view, and dialogue. For this week’s discussion, you will read a short narrative essay and identify techniques the writer uses to build the narrative, then discuss them with your classmates. image.png “The-Money”-by-Junot-Diaz-1.pdf Post 1: After reading Diaz’s story “The Money.” Respond to the following questions. 1.
