  1. A narrative essay is when someone tells a story. narrative essay often lets the speaker or writer express themselves about an experience or encounter. The narrative topic i would choose would be A frightening experience because all my life i have been lying to all my family members and writing it on paper would probably save someone with the same experience, letting them know that they too are not alone.

    8. What a very interesting topic Lexine! One phrase that really caught my interest in your post was when you said, "all my life I have been lying to all my family members and writing it on paper would probably save someone with the same experience, letting them know that they too are not alone". I believe that your essay will be vary applicable and helpful to those who have trouble telling their parents the truth.

  3. A narrative essay refers to a story whethers its past or present. Narrative essay is usually autobiographical or a way to express yourself. In today's class activities on topic sentences were kind of confusing in the beginning, but as we kept on doing the activities it became easier. The topic i picked is a vacation trip from my childhood because its was an exciting experience that i could not forget.

  4. A narrative essay is an organized essay with a clean point of view, usually a story.
    For my topic story i chose to write about an incident. When i was in 4th grade i was a rebellious brat and liked to things my way. One day i was tired of teachers telling me what to do so i retaliated by pulling the fire alarm in the middle of spring play. It wasn't my smartest idea, but i made a crazy memory i can enjoy.

  12. Narrative essays serve as a way for you to tell a story through your writing. It allows you to recall moments of your life that posed as a heavy influence in your future and behavior. My topic of choice for this essay will revolve around the breaking of a friendship. I feel it's best to talk about topics that involve deep contemplation so that the emotions or forms of expression will be all the more vivid.

  13. The aim of a narrative essay is to describe a course of events from a subjective vantage point and may be written in first person present or first person past tense. In other words narrative essay is when you write or narrate a story or event from the past or the present. If I would write a narrative essay I would choose a topic about a vacation trip from my childhood, because its simple,easy and it narrates a story on my childhood.

  14. A Narrative essay tells a story and most narrative essays are written from past experiences, with this essay, the writer can open up and try and connect with the reader. I believe narrative essays are written to either entertain or inform the readers.
