Question: 1 / 400

When assessing a child's story about a weekend outing, which narrative episode level best describes the statement structured as "My family was going to a friend's birthday party. We were late to the birthday party"?

Abbreviated episode

Incomplete episode

The statement about the family's experience at a friend's birthday party fits the description of an incomplete episode. In narrative analysis, an incomplete episode is characterized by the mention of a setting or action that lacks a resolution or outcome. Here, the child starts with a background (going to a friend's birthday party) and presents a specific issue (being late), but does not provide further development or a resolution regarding the birthday party itself, such as what happened when they arrived.

This level of narrative organization showcases an intent to convey a storyline, yet it does not fulfill the elements necessary for a complete narrative, such as a clear resolution or conclusion. Thus, it remains incomplete, leaving the listener or reader wanting more detail about the event's conclusion or the child's experience at the party.
