Education / How To Write A Narrative Paragraph by danielwhit9818: 3:17pm On Mar 18, 2020
How to write a narrative paragraph

A narrative paragraph is a chronological narrative, either real or fictional. This sentence is followed by the narration and a small conclusion to summarize what happened. Your paragraph should be complete and provide the reader with all the information necessary to understand the central fact. Mentioning these essential elements helps write a narrative essay that tells readers a short, complete story.

Part1: Introduce your story
1. Use the 1st and 3rd person personal pronouns.
Use personal pronouns such as "I", "he", "she", "it", "they", "them" to narrate the story. You can tell someone else's story, even if it's pure fiction.

2. Use the same conjugation time.
Consult the instructions or directives if there are to know the time to use.

3. Create a captivating introductory phrase.
Involve the reader in your text by creating suspense or excitement in your introduction. This sentence should introduce the purpose of the paragraph or story and encourage the reader to continue reading.

4. Describe all the main characters in the story.
In the first person concerning the choice of the puppy, you can still say this: "my mother took me to the breeder who is 45 minutes away from the house.

5. Set the scene.
Plan a setting for your text and place the reader in context. You can write such a sentence: "I was 11 years old, and the road seemed endless. We lived in Wisconsin at the time and the breeder lived in Chicago. "Necessary information such as the characters and the background to the story following the introductory sentence should not exceed 4 sentences.

6. Consider writing a paragraph of at least 9 sentences.
Adopt the following structure: an introductory sentence, one to four sentences of the necessary information, two to four sentences to start the story, three or four phases for the disturbing element, one to three sentences for the series of actions, and a or two concluding sentences.

Part2: Provide narrative details
1. Present the story chronologically from the beginning.
Begin the narration by describing the problem or idea that triggers the plot. You can start with a simple call or a desire to take milk. This beginning of the story must fit in at most four sentences. For example, you can start like this: "When we arrived at the farmer's house, I was upset. I didn't see any puppies around. "

2. Narrate the main disturbing element of the story.
a. Adding narrative details to explain the elements helps follow the narration. Ranging in length from three to four sentences, they must lead to a highlight of the conflict or tragedy. The story can go on like this: "the breeder hissed. I was relieved when I saw the puppies emerging from a corner and the main entrance. I saw a puppy of my favorite color: white, with two black spots. I asked my mother hopefully, "Mom, can we keep it? She took the time to think, giving the impression of reconsidering her position regarding the choice of a puppy. "

b. Bring the outcome of the story.
Detail the end of the story to the reader. Generally, for a good story, this conclusion is often a surprising twist or merely a pleasant moment. Do not forget to mention all the likely consequences for the narrator.
c. Your story can end like this: "Then mom smiles. If only we could call it Oreo. I kissed him, and Oreo agreed by licking me."
d. The conclusion of the story can be one or three sentences maximum.

Part3: Conclude the story and correct the paragraph
1. Finish with a conclusion that reflects the event. Give your opinion on the story through the conclusion. In principle, its length does not exceed two sentences. About the history of the puppy, you can conclude by saying: "It was the happiest day of my life".

2. Reread your paragraph to detect possible errors. Browse your paragraph for a guarantee of its readability and the absence of grammatical and spelling errors. Print a hard copy instead of correcting the computer.
a. Reading your story out loud is a great way to spot grammatical errors and other problematic points.
b. Do not rely on the spell checker of your processing software since it cannot detect all errors!

3. Reread your text to make sure the story makes sense. Read your paragraph for the last time to make sure the story makes sense. If someone told you the same story, would you need more information? If so, bring additional information to facilitate the understanding of the story.

• To make your narrative paragraph compelling, consider a friend's story ideas before you start writing. It is better to focus on a particular moment and transformer for you or the narrator, rather than simply narrate everyday occurrences.
• The length of the sentences used in this article is more of a recommendation than a strict obligation. If necessary, the length of the narrative paragraph can be longer or shorter, depending on the content.
