Paper instructions:
A narrative/story essay. ESSAY ONE For this essay you are to write narrative/story essay, that is, a brief narration based on a personal incident of some significance. You should write it as if you are going to send it in a letter (a form of correspondence preceding e-mail) to a family member or a friend. As you write the story, you should consider how you want your reader to react to the story’s characters, to the actions, and to the overall impact of the events.Thesis: unlike stories told just for their own sake, such as fictional stories, story/narrative essays are usually told to make a point (a thesis); they are told to illustrate a specific idea. Ask yourself, what is your story about? And then ask yourself, what point do you want your reader to take away about that topic? The second answer is your thesis. Your story should focus on the narration, that is, it should clearly have a beginning which sets the scene and starts the action, setting up the conflict(s) that will move the story forward. Stories usually build through complications based on the conflict(s) toward a climactic point (presented in a focal scene). There follows a sense of resolution, although oftentimes a resolution may be more or less satisfactory to all the characters involved. Story essays also focus on description. How does the language you use help your readers “see” and “feel” what is happening? Your language should be specific and provide vivid detail in describing character, place, and action (use active action verbs, for instance). Consider the story from the point of view of your reader: would your reader not only understand your story but be caught up in it as well? Stories make use of dialogue, either direct or indirect. When presenting dialogue, use the proper punctuation and formats. See the short sample below from the Hemingway short story. Also use specific action verbs to indicate how someone states something; don’t just say, s/he said when s/he called, cried, whined, wheedled, or whatever. Please note also that writers use dialogue selectively to focus on key statements; they don’t just try to record real conversations.
