Narrative Essay
What is a narrative essay?
In practice, a narrative essay is a story about a personal experience.
Reflection
A reflection is a short narrative that focuses on a single event. A writer may choose to reflect on a book they just finished, their visit to a zoo, or their high school graduation.
Action
Action stories work because they’re fun. People enjoy watching/reading them, even if they are not mentally stimulated by the genre.
Example of narrative essay..
Memoir
A memoir is an essay in which a person writes about a period in their life. The events typically cover years – even decades.
Dialogue
The dialogue form takes this interplay of doubt and persuasion, and makes it explicit – typically, one or more of the characters represents the reader’s view, while another character represents the author’s view. This allows the author to acknowledge the reader’s anticipated objections in the process of answering them.
Why is it useful?
A narrative essay is a useful tool that invites readers into a story and shows how an event has affected a person.
Allegory
An allegory (AL-eh-goh-ree) is a story within a story. It has a “surface story” and another story hidden underneath.
coherence
Coherence is perhaps the most important feature of argumentative writing. Without it, everything falls apart. If an argument is not coherent, it doesn’t matter how good the evidence is, or how beautiful the writing is: an incoherent argument will never persuade anyone or even hold their attention.

Anachronism
Anachronism (pronounced ah-NACK-ruh-nism) is a Greek word meaning “backward time.” It’s what happens when an author, deliberately or accidentally, puts historical events, fashions, technology, etc., in the wrong place.
consanance
Consonance is like music–a form of expression in sound, without conceptual meaning, but rather a feeling. Some sounds are percussive (like drums) and harsh, like K’s. Others have a more flowing, liquid sound, like F’s and L’s. Depending on which consonant you repeat, you’ll get a different “musical” effect. And create a different feeling.
