WEEK 8: NARRATIVE ESSAY WRITING (Isabel Martínez Puche)


Find out on the web 2 different links where narrative essay writing is explained and summarise the main characteristics. In which way is it different from discursive essay writing?

Characteristics:
  • is told from a particular point of view
  • makes and supports a point
  • is filled with precise detail
  • uses vivid verbs and modifiers
  • uses conflict and sequence as does any story
  • may use dialogue
  • Opening hook to get your audience interested or curious
  • Sharply drawn characters
  • Plot—that is, a chain of events with an interesting cause-and-effect dynamic
  • Vivid sensory description of people, events, and settings
  • Dialogue
  • Tension
  • Climax
In a discursive writing, an idea is discussed and proved to be right or wrong. For this reason, the vocabulary is usually very specific and formal, using facts to support the ideas of the writer.  However, a narrative writing focus more in entertaining its potential readers, using a more descriptive vocabulary and not necessarily providing facts.
