Sample Partial Narrative Macbeth has finally done it. He is King!! I walk through the crowded streets after Macbeth’s coronation. My friend in battle now sits on the throne. Macbeth seems to have always been lucky. First he won a beautiful wife, then he became a war hero, and now he is King. No one expected his rise to power. Soon after the coronation, I walk through the castle gates of Castle Macbeth, and much celebration can be heard. Purple, red, and gold banners hang from the ceiling with illustrious flair. The warm aroma of roasted pig fills the lighted halls. All of the nobles from the land are in attendance tonight to celebrate the new King. Macbeth enters the hall and addresses the crowd, "You know your own degrees; sit down. At first and last, the hearty welcome." Cheers ring out in the great hall. "All hail King Macbeth," everyone shouts! Immediately I become aware of the change in Macbeth’s appearance. Macbeth looks different now that he does not wear a soldier’s uniform. Macbeth is clothed in a deep purple robe of royalty. A shining gold crown sits upon his brow. But his face is looking haggard. Since our last meeting, there is not a sign of my past friend in his face. Macbeth appears to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. 01.16 Writing Your Narrative—Rubric Points Possible: 100 On Track 17-25 Needs Improvement 0-16 Structure 25 points possible Narrative is clearly structured.
