This article was very long and I am not sure that I remained focused throughout the entire thing, but I did manage to pick four quotes out from it to help define narrative inquiry. The first quote that I chose was pretty self explanitory and I bet many classmates also picked this quote.
1. "The four include the following: (1) a change in the relationship between the person conducting the research and the person participating as the subject (the relationship between the researcher and the researched), (2) a move from the use ofnumber toward the use of words as data,(3) a change from a focus on the general and universal toward the local and specific,and finally (4) a widening in acceptance of alternative epistemologies or ways of knowing." This basically states that there are a few different ways to write narrative inquiries.
2. "Within the framework of narrative research, researchers use a number of research approaches, strategies, and methods". I like this quote beucase they allow the reader to see that it is not simply handed to them. you must research and use different strategies to come up with the appropriate information.
3. "When the audience of research is presented
with numeric findings, the reader must provide a narrative to explain and capture the relationships presented with statistical values." To me, this quote is sayin that formulas, charts, graphs, and tables are too distracting for the reader and take up too much time and they should be avoided?
4. "What distinguishes narrative inquirers is their desire to understand rather than control and predict the human world." This kinda summed up the article. Narrative inquirers do all this research to understand and better write rather than simply predicting what they think happened or will happen.
