Conventions of Narrative Essays
In writing your narrative essay, keep the following conventions in mind. * Narratives are generally written in the first person, that is, using I. However, third person (he, she, or it) can also be used.
Narratives rely on concrete, sensory details to convey their point. These details should create a unified, forceful effect, a dominant impression.
Narratives, as stories, should include these story conventions: a plot, including setting and characters; a climax; and an ending.
