Narration

 Narration is the act of telling a sequence of events, often in chronological order. The narrator is the speaker who is telling the sequence of events. The narrator is not necessarily the same as the author, especially in fiction. The narrator may be from 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person point of view. A 3rd person point of view may be limited or omniscient. Narrators always have a type of bias. If the bias is large enough, the narrator may be considered unreliable.
