The three the rhetorical tools that we use to help us write a narrative are the rhetor, the text, and the audience. While the rhetor, author or speaker, has to learn about his audience, it is also necessary for the audience to understand the rhetor.  When both factors understand each other, it is easier for a text to be build or written.  Once the rhetor understands the audience they are trying to reach, it is easier for the rhetor to write or build the text.  The same is for the audience. Once the audience understands the rhetor, it is also more likely that they will understand the text and the timeframe in which it was written.

The rhetorical elements found in narrative writing can also be described as beginning, middle, and end.  The beginning of a narrative starts off establishing the setting and where and when the story takes place. The beginning also introduces the characters and a conflict that is present. The middle of the story analyzes individual characters, as they are classified as major or minor characters. It focuses on the characters personalities and how the characters respond to the problem. In the end of the story there is an action taken by the characters to solve the problem, and there is also an outcome, what was the result of what the characters did to resolve the problem from the beginning of the story.
