Narrative essays are one of people's personal favorites due to the fact that stories can be behind them.

DeleteIt could also be a benefit to really think about your experiences or stories and write about them.
DeleteI did not know that about narrative essays. good information I love learning something new!
DeleteGood stuff mr. Yang, narrative essays are very interesting and adds a personal feeling to any essay.
DeleteYup, narrative essays are like mini self stories.
DeleteWell said.
DeleteNarrative essay is an essay in the form of a story. The author usually writes about him/herself in the term of using "I." Reading a narrative essay makes you feel like you're in the author situation in your point of view.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that "Reading a narrative essay makes you feel like you're in the author situation in your point of view" I have always felt like the author when I read a narrative essay!
Deleteagreed, it feels like I'm the person in whatever situation the narrative essay is. It has a interesting vibe and makes every essay unique.
DeleteTrue, it is very detailed of his emotions and how he thinks about things
DeleteMost definitely. The essay is to have you walk in the writers shoes. See their point of view.
DeleteI agree. When I read a narrative essay, I often feel as if I'm the author experiencing the same things. Narrative essays are entertaining and require you to use your imagination.
DeleteLikewise, when reading narrative essays, I am able to envision myself in the author's situation (pov) as well.
DeleteToday we discussed narrative essays. In my opinion, I think it narrative essays are the most interesting to read. The reason for that is because it tells a story, unlike other essays that consist of examples or steps to a process. Though i think narrative essays are the most interesting, I also think that they are complicated to compose. In comparison, it is more complicated to format a story than it is to compose an essay that consists of examples or steps that require supporting detail.
ReplyDeleteI agree that narrative essays may be complicate to compose because you have to really brainstorm, come up with an introduction, plot, etc. and to keep the point of view and purpose of the story clear.
DeleteYou're so right that they are the most interesting and the most complicated because it's more than just writing you really have to plan ahead. Good thought Leah!
Deleteit is interesting to me too. i think reading about people in general shows a whole other view point
DeleteYes you are correct indeed. They are difficult to compose. However, we will get to the point where we'll master this essay.
DeleteYes, I agree that narrative essays are interesting to read too. I love being able to feel like I was there with the writer to experience everything they went through.
DeleteYes I also think they are a bit more difficult to write because there's so much more in formatting. The essay has to be a story but still remain an essay.
DeleteI agree. The most interesting essays are narrative essays, but they are also the most difficult to write, because the structure is different compared to the essays we usually write.

ReplyDeleteWriting a Narrative essay is telling a story, which includes a theme or a purpose. Basically, the point of story gives the story its movement. If the essay is personal and intimate, the author may use "I". Narrative essays may include pacing, flashbacks/chronological order, details, and motifs (to help reinforce the purpose/theme). Out of the all the topics for the narrative essay, I would pick my first visit to the country (US) because I know I have a lot to say and I had a great experience.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Cam, Love your definition. every narrative essay has a different "taste" to it. Each and everyone one of them are unique, because it talks about the writers personal experiences, flashbacks, etc. Beautiful.
Deletenice, i think your choice is good on your topic
DeleteI like how you defined a narrative essay. Its brief but thorough. And I'm also planning on working around the same topic.
DeleteI like your definition of a narrative and how you mentioned many literary elements that make up a personal narrative. Good topic choice too!
DeleteA narrative essay is an essay where you are telling a story from a vantage point usually talking about yourself. However, whenever I think of a narrator I think it's as if someone else is telling your story like God lol. So I have always believed a narrative essay to be where you are telling a story whether it's of yourself or of someone else.
ReplyDeleteI used to think that way too. But here's the catch. In this case, we're the ones who are writing the essay. Therefore, our readers will know that it's about our point of view.
DeleteTo me a narrative essay is an essay about your life. Often, it is not quite an essay, but a story. It is important to focus on the plot and sequence of events that happened in your life. I would pick my day at a new job, because I still remember all the mistakes i made and all my co-workers laughed at me, but i had many great experiences from the job.
ReplyDeleteCool story bro. i think your topic is good because u can explain your work with detailed easier
DeleteEven if "it is not quite an essay" or may seem not as educational, it could improve your writing skills! Your topic choice is good too. I'm sure your essay will be great.
DeleteI agree. I don't usually see narratives as essays, because it doesn't really have the typical essay format. It's more of a personal story. Good topic choice as well!
DeleteI agree. Good choice because it helps you point out the experiences in you job.

ReplyDeleteA narrative essay may be written about ones personal story, or any personal experience. The advantage of writing a narrative essay is informing and entertaining the reader about
ReplyDeleteyourself. Another advantage is having the opportunity of understanding yourself better
during the the process of your paper.
I agree on the advantages, especially where you may have the opportunity to understand yourself better. Good job!
DeleteGreat points on the advantages. That's why I would like to write a narrative essay.
DeleteI agree. I love narrative essay because I feel as if I can write freely and better.
DeleteI agree! Narrative essay really helps you understand what kind of person you are.

ReplyDeleteA narrative essay is when the writer tells a story in which the audience can gain an understanding or learn something. The topics I'd choose for my narrative essay would have to be either a memorable journey or your first visit to the country (or to a large city). I could also write about my first or last day on a job. It all depends on which topic I have more of a story on, which impacted me more, which gave me more experience, etc.
ReplyDeleteNarrative essay is being able to tell a story from experience or imagination. It makes the reader feel as if they're living in your shoes, allowing them to see things from your perspective.If I had to choose a topic for narrative essay, it would be my first visit to a country, I would write about my reactions when I arrived in Africa, because it was a complete culture shock.
ReplyDeleteWow. That would be a perfect topic. It would be like writing a book!
DeleteA narrative essay is pretty much a short story from a first person point of view describing an experience. I personally think narrative essays are more interesting and entertaining to read. While you are reading the narrative, you can hear, taste, see, smell, and imagine what's going on and (if written descriptively), you feel as if you are there with the writer.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Narrative Essays can really help you imagine about a lot of things.
DeleteA narrative essay is a story that people want to tell and create. It really shows the life and experience one has when they are making a narrative essay. I really think narrative essays are interesting. I like writing essays about my life and also make a story with my imagination. I really feel that it will brighten our imaginations and really help us come up with ideas faster.
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay is basically the writer telling a story or writing about an experience they once had. They are always fun to read because you get to try and envision what exactly they are talking about. I enjoy writing narrative essays because I like the fact that I can express my thoughts easily onto paper since it is coming from my own personal experiences.
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay is telling a story of something that the writer has experienced, a story about something that happened in there life. I would write about 'A memorable journey'. I would talk about the journey of being a mom, because I think all stories of being a parent are very interesting and different in their own ways.
