The Narrative Essay

The Narrative The writer evokes the senses to create a picture. The narrator’s goal is to write a detailed account of some memorable experience.

Exposition: The Purpose The text sets up a story by introducing the event/conflict, characters, and setting. – explain what happened, what it felt like, why it happened, and perhaps why everyone should reach the same conclusion that you did.

Narrative Techniques and Development The story is developed using dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines. – Consider how much you will need to tell your readers and how much you will need to show them. In a novel, dialogue should do one, if not all, of the following: 1. Reveal characters’ relationships to one another. 2. Move the story forward. 3. Increase the tension.

Organization and Cohesion The text follows a logical sequence of events – When you have any experience, no matter how long it lasts, your memory of that experience is going to be disorganized and poorly defined, but the essay you write about that experience must have a purpose and be sharply focused.

Style and Conventions The text uses sensory language and details to create a vivid picture of the events, setting, and characters. – When you have established the beginning, middle, and end of the plot, you can establish how each event in those sections should be paced. Pace is the speed at which the writer recounts events.

Style and Conventions Select your story telling details carefully. Don’t assume that adding more details is the same as selecting details carefully. You must select those special details that satisfy the needs of your readers and further your purpose in the essay. Some Types of Details: a. Objective/ Technical Details—These will help your reader to understand your subject. b. Subjective/ Impressionistic Details—Appeal to your reader’s senses. c. Figurative Images/ Dominant Expression—The careful presentation of details to explore a specific pattern or main concept.

Conclusion The text provides a conclusion that follows from the course of the narrative. The conclusion provides a reflection on or resolution of the events.

Narration and Description—Overall Points. 1.Focus your narrative on the “story” in your story—that is, focus on the conflict that defines the plot. 2.Vary the pace of your narrative so that you can summarize some events quickly and render others as fully realized scenes. 3.Supply evocative details to help your readers experience the dramatic development of your narrative. 4.Establish a consistent point of view so that your readers know how you have positioned yourself in your story. 5.Represent the events in your narrative so that your story makes its point.
