[Vocabulary] narration vs parable

[fedail]

Hi,

Could you tell me what is the difference between them?

 

[emsr2d2]

Have you looked both up in a dictionary? What do you understand each of them to mean and what difference can you see?

 

[fedail]

what i can all are a story or short story

 

[emsr2d2]

what i can all are a story or short story

I'm sorry, your reply doesn't make any sense. Please rephrase your answer and also:

- Start a sentence with a capital letter.
- End a sentence with a punctuation mark.
- Capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).

Thanks for your advice.

What I can see that all are a story or a short story. It means, When you want to tell a story.

Thanks for your advice.

Look at this definition of parable:parable - definition of parable by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

There is something very specific in that definition which you won't find in a word which just describes any short story. Can you see what the important part of that definition is?

it means that parable a story that have religion stamp

 

[emsr2d2]

It means that a parable is a story that [STRIKE]have[/STRIKE] has a [STRIKE]religion [/STRIKE]religious [STRIKE]stamp[/STRIKE]message.

A parable is a story which has a moral or religious message. That differentiates it from a simple short story. Please go back and read the advice I gave in post #4 regarding capital letters and punctuation. You need to get into the habit of using them in written English.

Also, 'narration' as a word does not necessarily mean a story. A story is a narrative. Narration is the telling of a story. You narrate a story, and that action is called narration (as in 2, 3 below). Some people also call a narrative a narration (as in 1), but I prefer to maintain the distinction.

[h=2]nar·ra·tion[/h]   [na-rey-shuhn] Show IPA
noun1.something narrated; an account, story, or narrative.

2.the act or process of narrating.

3.a recital of events, especially in chronological order, as thestory narrated in a poem or the exposition in a drama.

4.Rhetoric . (in classical speech) the third part, the expositionof the question.
