Narration Becomes an Art

Narration appears deceptively simple at first glance. A child hears or reads a passage, and then retells what he has read in his own words. Narration becomes an art when we lift it beyond its everyday uses and make it a purposeful pursuit. Many things that we do naturally can be polished and refined to a high degree of skill. This is why even in contemporary usage, we speak of practicing law or practicing medicine.
