  1. A narrative essay is basically placing yourself as the narrator of a story or in simpler terms, telling a story. The topic I would like to do for the narrative essay would have to be about my first day in a new school/college because I feel I have quite a bit to share about that experience.

    1. Everyone has their own experience about their first day in a new school and my own is quite interesting. I would write about that topic because I too would have a lot to share about that experience.

    2. I agree, everyone has that "first day of school" moment. And sharing it can make a very interesting story. It might also be helpful to those that are about to start. To let them know that everyone has their own experiences on the first day of school and that they shouldn't worry too much about it.

  2. I think narrative essay is like telling a story from a point of view. It relies on personal experience which include feelings as well as specific and sensory details mainly to get the reader more involved in the story. I think I would choose to write about a first visit to the country because I have experienced so much from it and I want to share my experience.

  3. A narrative essay is basically a written story usually based on an experience. When writing a narrative essay a clear point of view must be used and supporting details must be organized. This will ensure that the essay will be more understandable. When writing a narrative essay, there must always be a purpose to narrative. I would choose to write about my first day at a new job because it seems like an interesting topic.

  6. A narrative essay is an entertaining piece of writing that will tell a story or relate personal experience with great detail. I think it is best to use personal information or have great insight on a subject when creating your narrative essay. I would use the following topics vacation, memorable sporting event, and moment failure or success, in my narrative essay. I think that these topics are easy for me to write about, because I have experienced and have insight in the subjects.

  9. A narrative essay is pretty much you telling a story from your point of view. It doesn't count if you are doing a reflection paper on a book or something. A narrative essay is you telling a story from a personal experience. If I had to pick a topic to write a narrative essay about it would be my first visit to a country because I recently went to Japan for vacation and it was so much fun & I would like to share my experience there.

  10. Narrating a personal story while making a point.
    I am not sure what topic would I choose because I am old enough to have a lot of stories to tell. Narrowing down, maybe I would write about an encounter when I was afraid or embarrassed. I would prefer to right about something funny if possible.
