What do you think
is a personal
narrative?
 Personal Narrative
- is a form of writing in which a writer
relates a specific experience, event,
relationship, or incident through
descriptive detail. The narrative often
includes the author's thoughts, feelings,
and reactions through a candid and
authentic tone.
 How to write a
personal narrative?

or moment in your life.
• Expand on an important
conflict in your life.
• Think about a particular
theme or idea.
• Read examples of personal
narrative.
 What is the difference
between a personal essay
and a personal narrative?
The primary difference between the personal essay
and the narrative essay, though, is that the personal
essay asks writers to explain what experience has
taught them about themselves. The narrative essay,
by contrast, emphasizes what experience has taught
the writer about an issue, or about the world and
other people.
