   usage: account, narrative, narration, recital. these
          words are applied to different modes of rehearsing a
          series of events. account turns attention not so
          much to the speaker as to the fact related, and more
          properly applies to the report of some single event,
          or a group of incidents taken as whole; as, an
          account of a battle, of a shipwreck, etc. a
          narrative is a continuous story of connected
          incidents, such as one friend might tell to another;
          as, a narrative of the events of a siege, a
          narrative of one's life, etc. narration is usually
          the same as narrative, but is sometimes used to
          describe the mode of relating events; as, his powers
          of narration are uncommonly great. recital denotes
          a series of events drawn out into minute particulars,
          usually expressing something which peculiarly
          interests the feelings of the speaker; as, the
          recital of one's wrongs, disappointments,
          sufferings, etc.
