A narrative essay that tells the story of a significant incident in your life. The essay will be structured according to the following format:
An introductory paragraph that “sets the stage” for the telling of the story (provides any necessary background) and presents a thesis that includes the incident and the one major emotion/significance that came from the incident
Body paragraphs (at least three) that break up the telling of the story into logical segments (time or place)
A concluding paragraph that really focuses on the emotion of the incident at the time the event happened and its impact upon you even today.
Topic Selection
For this essay, you can choose any significant incident that has happened in your life. Just make certain that the event is confined to a certain time frame (usually a day or less). The event can represent any one of the range of emotions: joy, sadness, fear, surprise, amusement, pride, or embarrassment. Students in the past have written about the death of loved ones, accidents, engagements, weddings, birth of children, and embarrassing moments.
