A narrative essay is an essay telling a story in first person point of view. The narrative topic I would select would either be "your first day at college" or "the breakup of a friendship". I would pick the first topic because it's fresh and new for me and mostly everyone else. I would pick the second topic because I think everyone can relate to losing a friend especially while going to a new school.
ReplyDeleteThe topics you're deciding on what to write about are really interesting especially "the breakup of a friendship". I've been through that as well and to me it never ends well.
DeleteThose sound like really good topics.
DeleteFriendship breakups are rough, but it just shows what kind of friends they are depending on what happened.
DeleteI've been through many hard friendships and I could totally relate to that topic.
DeleteYour topics... I got the feels... I have experienced those too and yes it never ends well.
DeleteI like your topic. Your first topic is my second option.
DeleteI was thinking about writing "the breakup of a friendship", but i didn't want to think of sad it was. It was something I didn't expect to go through.
DeleteA narrative essay is an essay that conveys a sense of personal touch, even more so story-like. Because this essay is that of a much more personal piece of work, the topic I would have to choose would be the One Minute of a Football game (or other sporting event.) I chose this topic because there is one particular story that falls in line with this topic that I'd enjoy writing about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up.
DeleteThe way you explain a narrative essay is just wow, and I would like to read your essay one day.
DeleteI like your definition of a narrative essay. I also like your topic your deciding to choose for the narrative essay. I think you should do it!
DeleteGreat choice of a topic. You must have been in football for years.
DeleteA narrative essay tells a story. It can often be a personal experience. My topic for narrative essay is about " a memorable journey." I chose this topic because I am an outgoing person. Today I learned about the stage 3 about writing. I learned the important rules in writing an essay.
ReplyDeleteI think a memorable journey is a great topic to write about. Not only does the journey have to be good but it could be bad as well so it leaves a lot of different stories to tell.
DeleteThat Stage Three of the Writing Process was really helpful.
DeleteI'm also thinking that I should I write about a memorable journey. There are so many events you can chose from. I can't wait to start on my essay!
DeleteI like the topic you chose. I was thinking about using the same topic because I've had a lot of memorable journeys myself.
DeleteA memorable journey is a great topic to write about. It should be easy because you will be able to remember your experiences clearly.
DeleteI really like the topic you chose! I wish I chose that now.
DeleteThe narrative essay topic I would probably choose would be: A dangerous Experience.
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay - In my opinion, is lesser freedom in being able to be expressive and random with one's idea (s), and having more guidelines to follow. Also keeping in mind that the essay is not to be written in a story format can be discouraging to some. In a nutshell, it's a more technical style of writing.
A dangerous experience sounds super interesting! Seeing as you're a cop I wonder what that might be! hahaha
DeleteA dangerous experience does sound quite interesting, especially coming from a police officer. I'm really curious to hear!
DeleteI do agree with you about less freedom of expression, but I'm sure that it's easier than an argumentative essay. You still have the part about personal experience which does make it easier, whereas in an argumentative essay, you need to know your topic inside out, and know the different opinions.
DeleteNever thought of a dangerous experience. Now that sounds pretty interesting!
DeleteYour topic is not interesting, but I still want to hear your story.
DeleteI would like to hear your essay about a dangerous experience. It does seem interesting.
DeleteI like your explanation of what a narrative essay is. I would like to hear your story.
DeleteA dangerous experience is a great story to write about. I think that this topic will definitely keep the readers interested in what you have to say!
DeleteA dangerous experience does sound really interesting! I would love to read your essay after.
DeleteAn essay topic I would choose would be my experience of having an injured big toe from the gym.
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay i think has some rules to follow, not being able to be creative in your way. But I am very much up to this challenge and hoping to overcome this essay.

DeleteHope your toe is alright man.
DeleteOuch. An injured big toe isn't great man. I had one from soccer and it was painful.
DeleteI second that. I've had my big toe injured from skateboarding and it's not pretty at all.
DeleteA narrative essay does have rules to follow, just like any other essay. And as long as you didn't tear a ligament or two (like me), you should be fine.
DeleteOh I know the feeling of crushing a part of your body because just two days ago i crushed my finger. I would like to hear how it was for you to have your toe crushed.
DeleteEvery essay has rules to follow. You can be creative in a narrative way. xD
DeleteBasically a narrative essay is an essay where you need to focus on the main points of what you're writing about and stick to those points. You shouldn't wander off from the subject or get off track or else it won't really be a "narrative essay." When writing a narrative essay, you should think of it as explaining what your topic is.
ReplyDeleteI like your explanation of what is a narrative essay.
DeleteYour explanation of a narrative essay is more understandable than mine! I tend to wander off most of the time when I create narrative essays.
DeleteI like your explanation of what a narrative essay is. Its good to just stay focused on one subject when your writing an essay. Whenever I write an essay I usually go off topic.
DeleteYour explanation of a narrative essay is similar to how all the other essays should be written.
DeleteA narrative essay is an essay in which you tell a story (experiential or personal) which would include the setting, plot, characters, climax and the conclusion. A topic I would choose would be my first day at a new school because I've been to so many schools (from California to Guam). I'd really be interested in sharing my experience.
ReplyDeleteThe topic you chose is a really cool topic i would like to hear about how it was to experience traveling and starting new a many different schools.
DeleteI experienced to transfer to different schools . It was hard because it's a new environment for me.
DeleteI may experience having to change schools soon (from California to Guam) once it hits second semester. So it'd be nice to hear how dramatic or exciting it was to change schools.
Delete(Whoops! I meant Guam to California)
DeleteYour definition of a narrative essay is very informational. It really shows that you know what you are talking about.
DeleteA narrative essay is basically an essay that tells a story. I believe that it is similar to a descriptive essay, but certain points make a difference between the two. In a descriptive essay, you would use a first person point of view, and in a narrative essay, you may want to use a third person point of view. Narrative essays should also be easy to write since it can also be based on experience. Possible topics that I would like to write about are “A Memorable Journey”, “A Frightening Experience”, “A Memorable Wedding”, or “A Moment of Failure”. My memories for these topics are as fresh as if it happened yesterday. By the way, would anyone like to peer review my descriptive essay? It’s kind of a tear jerker.
ReplyDeleteI like your topic because I also go on many adventures I also do agree it would be easy to recall a journey someone takes because that is how awesome journeys can get.
DeleteI agree, I like your topics too. I would like to hear about them any day!
DeleteYou have a lot of topics to choose for a narrative essay. I'm interested to hear your story about your topic.
DeleteYour explanation of a narrative is very good. Also, the topics you have in mind should be easy to write about since it's fresh in your mind.
DeleteA narrative essay for me is basically an essay in which it is told through your point of view or even just a story essay. I don’t usually write stories, but if I had to write a narrative essay I would choose the one of the many adventure stories of my childhood. I would choose that topic because my childhood was full of exciting adventures and it would be relatively easy to write a story on that.
ReplyDeleteI would really love to hear and read about your childhood adventures.
DeleteI too would like to hear about your adventurous experiences! And I agree, hardly ever write stories.
DeleteI think that writing about your childhood adventures will be very interesting and fun for read.
DeleteI too would say that my childhood was full of exciting adventures.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, a narrative essay is a type of essay that deals with writing in a one on one perspective. It's as if you're telling a story to someone in a casual way. Topics I would choose would either be "Your first day at a new school or college" or "An encounter that changed your life". For the first topic, I would talk about my dramatic transition from high school to college. As for the second topic, I would talk about experiences that changed me into who I am today.
ReplyDeleteI would say it's in a more formal way since it is an essay.
DeleteMy second choice of topic was "Your first day at a new school or college". I thought it would be interesting to tell all of the embarrassing moments I had.
DeleteI like your first topic! It's pretty similar to what I had in mind to talk about.
DeleteA narrative essay tells a story. It can be about an experience you had. It is told in a first person point of view. The topic I would choose would be "Your first day at a new job". I would talk about how I felt and what I had to do.
ReplyDeleteSame topic as me but I believe that narrative essays can be written in third-person form.
DeleteI can totally write about my first day at a new job! It was just recently so the experiences are still in my head.
DeleteA narrative essay is an essay that tells a story. It can be written in the form of first-person or third-person I would prefer to write my essay in first-person form because it seems easier to tell it from your own point-of-view. I would write about the first day of my job because there is so many things that happened on my first day. Today I finally figured out what I have to do for moodle.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I too would prefer to write my essay in a first person point of view.
DeleteI agree that writing in first person is easier since it's in your perspective.
DeleteThat is a very nice topic. What do we have to do for moodle?
DeleteA narrative essay is an essay which tells a story about an event or experience. Usually, narrative essays are about a personal experience that you have gone through. I would like to write about a moment of success because I still clearly remember that day and how I felt to achieve that goal.
ReplyDeleteI also chose a topic of something I can remember easily. Hopefully it makes writing the essay easier and more fun.
DeleteA narrative essay is like telling a story. It should have purpose. For my narrative essay I would write about my first day at a new job. I remember this experience like it was yesterday. The job was interesting so I have much to say about it. I hope this essay is enjoyable to write.
ReplyDeleteIf you remember your topic like yesterday, I believe that this essay is going to be enjoyable.
DeleteI really think that your essay will be very easy to write. It seems like you have a lot to say about your topic.
DeleteBasically a Narrative Essay tells a story in such a way that it projects to it's reader a sense of experience; of actually reliving the actual events described. A topic I'd write about would be either (a) "Explain when I admire someone" or (b) "Why are parents strict sometimes."
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, a narrative essay is an essay about your life. Often, it is not quite an essay, but more like a story. One topic that I would definitely write about would be about a vacation trip from my childhood. I feel like there is a lot to be said about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about writing about a vacation from my childhood as well. It seems like i have a lot to share about my experience since it was the first time i flew to the states.
DeleteWhat I learned is that a narrative essay tells a story. It talks about a personal experience you've gone through and probably a lesson you learned from it. This type of essay has less freedom, though, with more rules to follow.
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay is an essay about a story or an experience. It is usually written from one of the two points of view,first person (the speaker) or third person (person spoken about). Using transitional words helps the reader follow the sequence of the actions. As for my topic, I would either chose "a memorable journey" or "a vacation trip from your childhood"
ReplyDeleteA narrative essay is about an experience that happened in life whether it was good or bad. It should consist with a purpose, clear point of view and transitional words to help the reader understand the story more. I would choose "an encounter that changed your life" as my topic because after my bad experience, i changed my ways into choosing the right actions to better my future and to stay out of trouble.
