What is Narrative?

 

A narrative essay is an essay written about a personal experience, usually from the first person perspective.  Because narrative essays are written about personal experiences and from a personal perspective, they can cover a wide range of topic.  They can also be difficult for a student to tackle, because individual experience plays such a critical role in the narrative essay.  We offer several narrative essay examples for people looking to familiarize themselves with the format.  Each of these essays provides a step-by-step tutorial for students who are new to the genre, from the topic to outlines of the work and even a list of resources.

Analysis of a community building fundraising speech
I would suggest that the speaker introduce a narrative or two into the speech in order to make it more interesting and meaningful. Instead of speaking of 'the organization', he could have also connected it to the audience- made it 'theirs' by instantiation with one or two events / programs that they hosted in the past. He could have introduced some names of members who actively contributed to these events (thereby making he members feel more accountable to their organization). He could have elaborated on these events thereby arousing pleasurable memories. He could have also injected humor (Forbes.com) thereby reducing the heaviness of the appeal to both him and the audience. The speech, in other words,would have benefited from preparation and from greater connection to the listeners themselves (Forbes.com ).It could have been far more relaxed with both speaker's voice and gestures indicating this. The speaker too could have admitted to audience his distaste in asking for money – people enjoy honesty. It is also essential that he place himself in the audience, I..e see it from their perspective (Stepcase. Lifehack.). Doing so may not only have made him less nervous, but may have given him invaluable insight into how to craft and deliver his speech.
