Document Summary
Tell a story in a sequence of events. Are not just fiction: history and travel books, biographies and autobiographies are all generally narrative. Often contain sections of analysis and description. May be found within other essay forms to help develop discussions. Narratives appeal to audiences on a very basic level: capture interest, appeal to emotions, draw the audience into the discussion. Some point, lesson, or idea that makes the essay meaningful. Your writing should emphasize the aspects of the narrative that support your point and purpose: this is why you are relating this narrative. Structure: consider order and organization, create an outline. A narrative has natural beginning and end points, so it does not necessarily require an introduction or conclusion, but they can be useful: establish background, clarify point, tie off loose ends.
