Personal, Narrative Essays

Narrative essays are close kin to descriptive essays, but focus more on the sequence of events, their causes, and the effects generated by them. Narrative essays are essays that tell the story of a personal life event that has particular meaning to the writer or a significant moral or life lesson. Narrative essays are commonly written in first person, one of the few essay styles students may get away with doing so. This is because of the personal nature narrative essays represent, being taken directly from the life and memories of the writer.

As a part of the narrative process of the essay, the student will typically describe in detail not only the events, but the emotions, thoughts and feelings triggered by the sequence of events as well, showing how their overall memory and opinion developed during the sequence. The narrative essay will typically conclude with an explanation of how the described experience affected their perceptions and ultimately helped shape their lives afterwards.

The best source for narrative essays is your own life experiences. Memorable events from your childhood are like cannon fodder, ready to be propelled by your mind into a written documentation and memoir of the event. From the memory of your mother’s tender care when you were sick to the moment you knew who your favorite teacher was going to be and why, your life is full of stories, waiting to be told.
