Explanation:

This is a set of prompts for a discussion or reflection activity about narratives, likely in an Arts (Literature) or Social Science (Education/Psychology) context. Since there's no specific question here (just prompts to fill in thoughts about narratives and connections to them), if you want to complete these, for the "What is a narrative?" section:

For "I think a narrative is..."

A narrative is a story that conveys events, experiences, or ideas, often with a sequence of actions, characters, and a plot (like the stories in I Am Malala or A Long Way Gone that share personal journeys).

For "My partner thinks a narrative is..."

(This would depend on your partner's input, but an example could be) My partner thinks a narrative is a way to share someone's life, struggles, and growth, using details to make the audience feel connected (relating to the memoir - style narratives of the two books shown).

For "The narrative I connect to the most is..."

(For example) The narrative I connect to the most is I Am Malala because her fight for education in the face of adversity resonates with my belief in the power of learning, and her courage is inspiring.

For "The Narrative my partner connects to the most is..."

(For example) The narrative my partner connects to the most is A Long Way Gone as they relate to the theme of resilience during childhood hardships and the journey of finding hope after trauma.

If you have a specific question about this (like analyzing the narratives, or what type of assignment this is), please clarify!
