Why must narratives be presented in a logical sequence ?

A narrative or story is a summary of related events presented to audiences or readers, in words arranged in a logical sequence. The word derives from the Latin verb narrare, "to tell", which is derived from the adjective gnarus, "knowing" or "skilled". Storytelling is a fundamental part of human nature. Man is the only animal that tells stories, and we have been telling stories and listening to them since the time we learned to speak.

Narratives must be presented in a logical sequence because they are a particular way of explaining or understanding events. Otherwise, the lack of logical sequence will lead to a complete thematic misunderstanding.
