Explanation:

1. A narrative's structure typically follows a plot arc: Exposition (introduces characters, setting), Rising Action (builds conflict), Climax (highest point of tension), Falling Action (resolves conflict), and Resolution (ends the story).
2. A narrative focuses on story elements like Characters (who the story is about), Plot (sequence of events), and Setting (where/when). A Thesis statement is for argumentative writing.
3. Narratives about slavery, like Douglass', often highlight the Struggle for identity and freedom as enslaved people fought against dehumanization and for basic rights.
4. Dialogue and character interactions show (not tell) moral lessons through actions and consequences, making it relatable.
5. Douglass learned to read/write secretly. Education helped him articulate his experiences (e.g., in his autobiography), showing its power in the fight for freedom.
