After writing my narrative, I feel that I told the story quite well. I believe I did because my personal narrative takes the reader on my journey to reading with confidence. In the text I give the readers insight into why I struggled with reading out loud and how I overcame it. I think that my piece of writing can be improved by creating more descriptive memories. For example, in the first two paragraph I describe my teacher Mrs. Robinson, but I never describe the atmosphere of the classroom. Additionally, I could have added more detail in the final paragraphs about how I became the child in class to raise their hand to read a text, rather than hide like it did for years. When we were assigned to write a literary narrative a lot of memories,…
A personal narrative is a personal story. Remember that we have been talking about personal narratives? The word personal means that you own it. This is my personal sweater and these are my personal shoes. So, a personal story is a story about me. Can you say it with me class? “A personal narrative is a story about me. It has a beginning, a middle, and end. It also has to have describing words.” Before I write my personal narrative I want you to begin thinking about what good writers do.…

One day, my senior year in high school, we were handed three different narratives prompts. The rules were simple pick one of the prompts and write about it. Easy right? At the time, the prompt that stood out to me the most was, “think of a time when you taught someone something important.” I pondered the topic for sometime and what finally popped into my head was a great experience when I was in the seventh grade. In one of my classes there was an autistic kid, and I had the fulfilling privilege…
Through creating my own narrative story and listening to other narrative stories, I have learned a lump sum of significant aspects about myself and my fellow peers. As I began to write my narrative story I had numerous thoughts run through my head, but as I continued to think about what I should write a lot of my problems seemed to become smaller. This is when I began to realize all the new things I have learned throughout the semester. In addition, I had so many things I wanted to talk about,…
Writers statement My narrative is called Rumours and it’s intended audience is for people aged thirteen and over because of the mild alcohol references used in the story. The purpose of this story is very subtle but is intended to say that people can change no matter what their past was like. I created my narrative the way I did because I wanted it to be relatable to teenagers but still show the difference between bad behaviour and good behaviour. For example, Addison Taylor doing the right…
