ersonal Narrative

In 400 500 words write a personal narrative

A personal narrative essay is about a personal experience, so it is usually written in the first person. To maximize its impact, the essay should:

      Be written to have an emotional impact on the reader

      Include a lot of references to sensory perceptions and emotions

      Use vivid details and imagery

Structure of the Essay

      The opening of the essay needs to let the reader know the essence of what you will be describing and your point of view.

      The body of the story needs to give the reader a very clear idea of what happened and how you (the author) feel about that. The story can be told chronologically or the facts may be grouped by importance or type.

      The final paragraph needs to wrap up and state the point of the story, whether it is a lesson, an idea, or just a learning experience.
