What is reflection justifies, it does not narrate?Show answer
The single most important distinction is between narrating and justifying. Narrating tells the reader what you did: I started with a description of the beach, then I introduced the character. Justifying explains why the choice serves your purpose: I opened with the emptied beach so the absence would establish the loss before the character names it, sparing the piece an explicit statement of grief. A marker can reward a justified choice because it demonstrates intention.
