# 5.1 What is Narrative Focusing? Narrative focusing is a fundamental element in any literary text. It refers to the point of view from which the story is told or the information is presented. It is how the narrator chooses what elements to show and how to present them, thus determining how we perceive the story and interact with the text. Understanding narrative focusing, which guides our reading perception, allows us to appreciate the different layers and nuances of a story, as well as the author's intent in choosing a specific point of view and its influence on how we interpret the underlying themes and messages of a text. # 5.2 Types of Narrators Since narrative focusing is closely related to the types of narrators, understanding what a narrator is is essential to appreciate the impact of each focusing perspective on the reader. The author, the real person who wrote the text, must be distinguished from the narrator, a fictitious voice inside the story. The narrator's primary task is to recount the events that occur throughout the narrative. This distinction is crucial because it allows us to understand how a single author can use multiple narrators within a story. By using various narrators, the author can change the perspective and focusing, enriching the narrative and offering the reader a wider range of viewpoints. This diversity in narration affects how events and characters are presented and perceived within the story.
