Answer:
Narrative essays/stories are often anecdotal, experiential, and personal—allowing students to express themselves in a creative and, quite often, moving ways. So, in short, it's an essay about your life with details, events, etc.
Explanation:
Narrative essays/stories should include:
- an introduction, plot, characters, setting, climax, and conclusion.
- must have a purpose; think of this as the thesis of your story.
- the essay should be written from a clear point of view; essays to be written from the standpoint of the author (you); however, this is not the sole perspective to be considered. Creativity in narrative essays oftentimes manifests itself in the form of authorial perspective.
- narrative essays are effective when the language is carefully, particularly, and artfully chosen. Use specific language to evoke specific emotions and senses in the reader.
- the use of the first person pronoun ‘I’ is welcomed; though it is welcomed it is not necessary—nor should it be overused for lack of clearer diction.
- have a clear introduction that sets the tone for the remainder of the essay. Do not leave the reader guessing about the purpose of your narrative; you are in control of the essay, so guide it where you desire (just make sure your audience can follow your lead).
I hope that this helps you! I know it was a lot to read, but it's worth it. Have a nice night! :D
