Chapter 10 - Narration and Description Summary

“The College Writer”: Chapter 10 – Narration and Description – Summary

This chapter goes over what a narrative or descriptive essay actually is. It is an essay based on a personal experience. It can be anything from a time you were afraid or angry to a time you found joy. It can be a hard lesson learned or a secret you discovered. It can be about a loved one you’ve lost or a time of celebration. There are so many options as far as topics for this type of essay. You just need to remember some key points. You need to make sure you are passionate about your topic, that you include characters, details, and descriptions. You want to make the reader feel like they are apart of your story. You want the reader to hear, see, touch and taste what you did. Once you know your topic, focus in on a key moment or point to your story, gather details and write an outline, you should ask for some feedback from someone. Once you do, it is time to write your first draft. You need to write the first draft, then share your story, revise it, edit and proofread it, and write up your final copy. I was glad to find out that you are able to add photos or drawing in with your narrative essay. I think that will be really good if I can incorporate some images into my story.
