Read the passage below and answer the following questions

Stories have survived for centuries in the formof folklore because man never tired of hearing themrepeated. Childrenstill delight in stories told to them by their elders, and it may well be that a primary motive for learning to read is the insatiable desire of a child for more stories than his parents or grandparents can supply. Narration, as a mode of discourse, arises from the universal desire of humanbeings to hear a story, whetherit is new or old. The media of mass communication — television, radio, moving pictures — have vastly multiplied the means of satisfying this desire, but have added little to the art of narration itself.

Good narration depends upon sequence, unity and point. The imagined sequence must be chronological, for narrative must present actions in time. The written sequence, however, does not have to be in the same orderas the imagined sequence — often, infact , a story maystart in the middle, “flash back” to earlier related events, and then conclude with later events that give a sense of resolution there is a sense of past, present and future to keep the action going,to give the readerthat feeling of pace which1s so vital in keeping his interest alive.
