Life is full of surprises and
difficulties. A twist of fate can make your life
miserable or blooming as the spring flower. Narrative
essays are experiences written by you that you
face during your life. It tells a story, which
is meaningful and important to you, it can be
real, or imagination based. It describes how a
certain event can change a major part of yourself
and your life, how you have reacted to that event
that happened to you.A good narrative isn't just
an enjoyable or amusing story, but has a point
to make, an idea to pass on. The writer uses details
that are significant and merges them to build
up a story line that is easy for the reader to
- The story should have an introduction that
clearly indicates what kind of narrative essay it is (an event or recurring activity, a personal
experience, or an observation), and it should
have a conclusion that makes a point.
- The essay should include anecdotes. The author
should describe the person, the scene, or the
event in some detail. It's okay to include dialogue
as long as you know how to punctuate it correctly
and as long as you avoid using too much.
- The occasion or person described must be
suggestive in that your description and thoughts
lead the reader to reflect on the human experience.
- The point of view in narrative essays is
usually first person. The use of "I"
invites your readers into an intimate discussion.
- The writing in your essay should be lively
and show some style. Try to describe ideas and
events in new and different ways. Avoid using
clichés. Again, get the basic story down,
get it organized, and in your final editing
process, work on word choice.
