Forms of Building Narrative Sequences in the City's Biography

Abstract

This research adopts the study of the patterns of narrative sequences in the history of the city, which the researcher found that it is divided into two patterns. The first is the personal system, in which the writer traces the life of one of the characters in his narrative text, and narrates by tracing her life the life of the city; Thus, the hero’s biography constitutes an objective equivalent to the life of the city whose story is narrated, and the second is the network pattern, in which the narrator tells the biography of the city through the sequence and frequency of a number of narrative events that collectively constitute a network of narrative relationships that contribute to build  narrative sequences through the implicit awareness of the author of the story. The research included a theoretical framework for the formats of narrative sequences, followed by an examination and analysis of the texts of the code, appended with a conclusion to the results of the research, and proven by the sources and references that we relied on in writing the research
