Narrative Essay (75 points)
A narrative essay re-creates an experience for a central purpose: usually to reveal an insight
about the action or people involved.
Writing Prompt Suggestions: write about an experience in which you encounter people from a culture different
from your own. You might write about a turning point in your life—perhaps a time when you
were forced suddenly to grow up or a time when you reassessed your values. write
about a situation where you have not been successful and what you have learned from the
experience. Or you might recount an adventure that tested you in some way. If you have
experienced work in an emergency room, on an ambulance or fire truck, or as a police officer or
in the military, you might describe in vivid detail one day or evening at work to give readers an
inside view of this stressful job.
