Essay Prompt 1: The Narrative Essay
The Assignment: Please write a 1250 word essay that recounts in vivid, descriptive detail an event in your life. This event should take place over a short period of time and center on some kind of internal or external conflict. It need not be a major life event; rather, it should be an event that reveals something about you: a value that you hold, a belief you have or that you lost, or something else of significance.

In order to choose a topic, you may find these writing prompts helpful. They come from The St. Martin’s Guide to Writing (Axelrod and Cooper), and you’ll see them again as part of our assignments for this week:
Other Requirements of This Assignment: Write using rich description and sensory detail, and use appropriately punctuated dialogue if applicable. Be sure your essay is in MLA format, which is a requirement for all college-level language classes, including English. Remember that this is public writing, so please do not write about anything you’re uncomfortable with sharing with the rest of the class.

In addition to the Writing Commons readings for this week, I am including two examples of personal essays in this week’s readings folder that should help you understand the genre, and I will share two more next week. Please note, both essays treat an experience that occurs over a short period of time, both include rich descriptive detail, and both of them convey a sense of the importance of the event to the writer. While each of the essays focuses on one event, each of them do refer to events that occurred at other times; this is all right. The Mock essay also includes photographs. You may include images in your essay as well provided you meet the minimum word count and observe MLA format.
