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.

Rhetoric and Race in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
This essay examines the film To Kill a Mockingbird in light of its rhetorical and narrative elements. In particular, two scenes of rhetoric serve to demonstrate the film's objective of revealing the underlying reasons behind bigotry as well as the difficulty of overcoming it with traditional modes of rhetoric. In the end, it is clear that Scout's personalized rhetoric is more effective than Atticus' traditional rhetoric in the face of ideologies resistant to logic and emotional appeal.

Du Bois vs. Washington: Competing Visions for Black Progress
Cover Letter ONE: There are several purposes as to why I'm writing this essay. For one, exploring the writings of Du Bois is an education in itself; the man is a giant of letters and his editorial positions were actually prophetic because by the Civil Rights Movement of the late 1950s and 1960s many Blacks were demanding the things that Du Bois demanded years before. Another purpose was to show that there were several approaches taken by Black leaders in terms of the advancement of African Americans in a segregated, Jim Crow-toned society. TWO: After reading the assignment I did not change my perspective on the differences in approaches by Washington and Du Bois because I already was aware that the two were quite far apart in philosophies. But by once again studying the juxtaposition between the two, my understanding of the problems of Black folks came into greater focus for me.

War Without Violence: U.S. Strategy Against Salafist Jihadism
Homeland Security – Article Critique Introduction ONE: The article by Pat Proctor of Kansas State University was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Strategic Security in 2012. TWO: The point of this article is not so much posing a question but presenting a proposal. The proposal is directed at the United States, suggesting in strong terms how the United States (and presumably its allies) could and should engage in "…mass politics" which Proctor calls "war without violence" (Proctor, 2012, 47). The theme of the article is the remarkable transformation that has taken place in Arab countries (called the "Arab Spring") such as Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Sexuality and Romance in Their Eyes Were Watching God
Characters of the novel are attracted to Janie because of her sexuality, but ultimately come to hate it—trying to extinguish it, control it, and control her. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, trees, flowers, and nature often symbolize sexuality and romance. They act as figures for sexuality and romance in general, but they also act as figures for Janie's sexuality, Janie's sexual awakening, and the sense of romance that permeates Janie's perspective on life as she moves through childhood, adolescence, and into adult maturation. The paper argues that the reader is supposed to align and understand sexuality & romance through the use of natural symbols.
