A mode of expository writing, the narrative approach, more than any other, offers writers a chance to think and write about themselves.
In a narrative essay, you tell a story, often about a personal experience, but you also make a point. So, the purpose is not only to tell an entertaining tale, but also to expound on the importance of the experience
Since a narrative relies on personal experiences, it often is in the form of a story. When the writer uses this technique, he or she must be sure to include all the conventions of storytelling: plot, character, setting, climax, and ending. It is usually filled with details that are carefully selected to explain, support, or embellish the story. All of the details relate to the main point the writer is attempting to make.: To summarize, the narrative essay
1) is told from a particular point of view.
2) makes and supports a point.
3) is filled with precise details.
4) uses vivid verbs and modifiers.
5) uses conflict and sequence as does any story.
6) may use dialogue.
