What is the difference between a narrative and a descriptive composition?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A narrative composition tells a story: it has events in a sequence, characters and usually a climax, and it moves through time. A descriptive composition paints a picture of a person, place or scene: it moves through space or through the senses rather than through time, and it aims at a single dominant impression.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
