How Is Narrative Used?

How is narrative used in print?
There is a clear narrative presented within this edition of 'The Big Issue'. The anchorage text, which begins 'Migrant, British icon, One Of Us', portrays the disruption stage of Todorov's theory of Narratology. The disruption is the idea of the immigration crisis, specifically in London. Through the use of the image of Paddington, we see that the idea of immigration is traditional in England and adds a sort of comedic element to the cover as Paddington himself is an immigrant from Peru. This disruption is the main purpose of this edition of 'The Big Issue'. Alongside the anchorage text, there is the response of 'one of us', which is the biggest form of text on the cover, written in bold yellow caps. This offers what Todorov calls the recognition stage as the London population recognise that the immigrants are exactly the same as them. There is hope for a new equilibrium with the cover line of 'the new spirit of Christmas' the idea of 'new', suggesting that things will become more positive and accepted.
