Hello Everyone,
I am discussing my point of view on writing an narrative essay.
Here are few tips :-
(1) Tell your story vividly and accurately.
A narrative essay recounts an incident that either you or others have experienced. In a narrative essay, you could describe a personal experience in which embryonic stem cell research could have helped you or someone you love conquer a debilitating condition.
(2) Include all of the elements of good storytelling.
You'll need an introduction, setting, plot, characters, climax and conclusion.
> Introduction: The beginning. How are you going to set the story up? Is there something useful or important here that gets mentioned later on?
> Setting: Where the action takes place. What does it look like? Which words can you use to make the reader feel like they are there when they read it?
> Plot: What happens. The meat of the story, the essential action. Why is the story worth telling?
> Characters: Who's in the story. What does the story tell us about the characters? What do the characters tell us about the story?
> Climax: The suspenseful bit before anything is resolved. Are we left hanging on the edges of our seat? Do we need to know what happens next?
> Conclusion: How everything resolves. What does the story mean in the end? How have things, people, ideas changed now that the end is revealed?
(3) Have a clear point of view.
Most narrative essays are written from the author's point of view, but you can also consider other perspectives as long as your point of view is consistent.
> Utilize the pronoun "I" if you are the narrator. In a narrative essay, you can use first person. However, make sure that you don't overdo it. In all essays, you sound more authoritative if you state facts or opinions in third person.
(4) Make a point.
You're telling a story, but the purpose of the story is to make a specific point. Introduce your main idea in your thesis statement, and make sure that all of your story elements tie back to your thesis statement.
> What did you learn? How is your essay an exploration of the things that you learned?
> How have you changed? How is the "you" that started the essay different from the "you" now? Related to, but different from, the "what did you learn?" question.
(5) Choose your language carefully.
You will use words to evoke emotions in your reader, so choose your words deliberately.
