Why is it important to pick a narrator carefully when planning to write a narrative? The narrator tells the story, but it is the
jeka94

Answer:

4) The narrative will change depending on the narrator's tone and point-of-view.

Explanation:

It is the <em>narrator's role </em>to tell the readers/audiences about what's happening in the story. He/She becomes the<em><u> readers' lens, </u></em>thus, their knowledge will largely rely on what is being narrated.

It is important to carefully pick a narrator when planning to write a narrative. A story can take a first-person perspective wherein the reader will have a deep connection with the main character in the story. However, his point-of-view will only be limited to what that character thinks. It can take the second-person perspective wherein<u><em> the writer or author wants to directly convey his message to the reader.</em></u> Another perspective is the third-person wherein the reader will know everything that is happening in the story. A change in perspective changes the tone of the narrator, as well as his point-of-view. This largely affects the readers'/audiences' understanding.
