Introduction
Writing effective narrative essay titles is all about tapping into the essence of the story you’ve told and then revealing enough of it in the title to whet the reader’s appetite.  The title is like the little morsel on the fishing hook and the reader is the fish.  Get a good title out there and you’ll hook the reader immediately.  Some of the best narrative titles give almost nothing away about the book, but get readers’ attention because they are loud and declarative.  Other narrative titles get the reader’s attention by giving the reader a good idea of what the narrative is about.  Here are some examples of good narrative essay titles.  Have a look.
