This essay explores the narrative mode which is perhaps the most natural style of writing for most people. The narrative form has much in common with fiction or creative writing in that it relies on descriptive language dialogue and dramatic action to present its story.
Much like it is in fiction writing the goal of the narrative form is to allow readers to feel as if they are not simply reading someone else’s story but that they are somehow part of it.
Unlike telling a story the narrative form has a specific piece of information to share and uses the elements we discussed in the Expository Writing chapter to deliver that message.
In this essay you will be asked to write about a specific event in your life that will engage readers and that will at the same time help them to understand the importance of the message you are relating or argument you are making.
