narrative structure - as the term suggests, is how the narrative is written out! - does it have flashbacks? a linear / sequential plot? or what?

 

[forfeit]

does that include perspective? as in, first person, third person?

 

[felafel]

first, second, third person?
omniscient narrator?

oh but one thing about speeches . . . you should make it formal - but not too formal - similar to an essay, but with speech techniques like rhetorical questions, variation of sentence length, etc.
