Description

This essay explores the Narrative Mode, which is perhaps the most natural style of writing for most people.

One of the goals of the narrative form is to allow readers to feel as if they are not simply reading someone else's story, but that they are somehow part of it. Unlike simply telling a story though, a narrative essay has a specific piece of information to share, a lesson for the reader. There should be a clear reason for your telling the story. This is where the “essay” in the narrative essay becomes apparent.

Your assignment this week is to write such an essay. Refer back to your outline of a significant event that you wrote for W2. Keep in mind that you are writing a story and it is important to freely tell your story. But, this is still an academic essay. The goal of your story is to support a clearly stated thesis/lesson for the reader. As such, your tale should be wrapped in a clear introduction and conclusion.

Criteria

Your essay should contain the following basic features:

·An introduction with an attention grabbing opening (hook), a well-defined message or argument (thesis), and any background information the reader needs to fully understand your story;

·Body paragraphs which a tell the story of your clear and specific, singular event that illustrates the essay thesis;

·Vivid language that works to recreate the event, including descriptions of where the event took place, the people who were involved, and the things these people said and did;

·A conclusion that briefly implicitly or explicitly reviews your story, reiterates the lessons you learned and that you hope the reader to learn, and provides a closing thought such as

owhy this event is still personally significant,

othe state of your life since the event and how you feel about it,

ofuture plans related to the event,

orhetorical questions for the reader, etc.

In addition to the above, the final draft of your essay should be:

·From 250-500 words in length, typed in Times New Roman 12pt. font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins.

·Uses APA style (a title page and citations as needed which are modeled in your APA guide),

·Written in first person;

·Edited for spelling, mechanical, grammatical, and typing errors

My Bitter Experience with Poverty
Early poverty has detrimental effects on an individual's future career and even in their
academic performance (Duncan 2012). No one would like to be poor and worse see their
children suffer from abject poverty. Every individual in society aims at ensuring that they live a
fulfilling life and secure their children's future. Death could at times result, and its effects could
be so immense, and it would leave the children suffering in their entire life. Having lost my
parents at a tender age, I know how painful it is to suffer from poverty and face rejection from
society as the whole.
My mother Selina Leigh died when I was seven years old after suffering from kidney
failure. The doctors, however, exercised high levels of negligence, and she died. This was the
point that everything went wrong. My father, James Shaw, turned out to be a drunkard and
hardly did he take care of my brother and me. This drunkard character went on even in his, and
this made him get fired from his job. My father had become addicted, and he could no longer
control his urge, he resulted in selling household items to enable him to raise money for
purchasing alcohol. When I was 11 years...
