Narration is just one of many strategies for developing an essay. Narrative writing is essentially telling a story, often relying on personal experience. Effective narrative writing:
- is told from a particular point of view,
- makes and supports a point (has a purpose),
- is filled with precise detail,
- uses vivid verbs and modifiers,
- uses conflict and sequence as does any good plot,
- may use dialogue.
For your blog assignment this week, you are to write a narrative consisting of about 400-500 words. I want you to choose a personal experience crossing a border (either metaphorically/imagined or literally/real). What was this border you crossed? Why did you cross it? How did it feel? What were the consequences of crossing this border? In relating this experience, go back to how you first defined/described border in your first essay and explain how it does or does not relate to your previous definition/description of border.
