Question

A personal narrative essay

Answer 1

If you're writing a personal narrative essay, you might want to follow these tips:

- Stick with the main plot of your story

- Add examples and descriptions if possible

- Don't leave out your emotions

- Make it useful; give tips in conclusion

- Make sure it's in a narrative tone

Say if you wanted to write about, "The Time When My First Tooth Fell Out", and decided to stick with it, you may want to start with a scene that the reader can imagine. Or, you may want to start off in a "sophisticated" way. And by that I mean, starting off with such words like: Even though, Just because, and Forth and for most. But, I'll give you an example of a simple way to start of your introductory paragraph. 

Example: It was mid-summer, July 23, 2010, and I was more than ready to enjoy my summer with my friends. Julie, my friend since we were in diapers, was having a summer bash in her backyard that day. I was ecstatic! My first summer party as a big kid! I had to get ready within an hour, fix my hair, get my bathing suit, and make sure I had sunscreen. I'm scrambling trying to get things done before we leave, clothes on the floor scattered like wild rats. I'm running faster and faster as every moment passes, then, I fall, hard enough to cause the tectonic plates to shift. My mom rushes in to see if I'm okay, and what the raucous was about. She looked at my face, and her eyes widened as if she saw a ghost. I asked her what was wrong, and she looked at me surprised. I touched my face as she still had the horrified look on hers. I remove my hand from my mouth to later see blood on my palm. I lick around my mouth to only feel a gap where my canine tooth used to be three minutes ago. My mom says, "Oh honey, you lost your first baby teeth." I wasn't so thrilled as she was, I had a summer bash to go to in twenty minutes! And I didn't want my friends to see my missing tooth and laugh at me. So, I hid in my room and told my mom I didn't want to go anymore. She told me it was nonsense and said they'd think I'm cool. I didn't believe her for a moment, but, sooner or later, I did, and decided to go regardless of my missing tooth. 

That's a short little narrative you can go by and tweak if you want to use it. Or to make it more relatable to your life story, add some things. 

I hope I helped :)
