Title<br />
The narrative essay tells a story in an expository way. In<br />
a certain way writers can think and write about<br />
themselves.<br />
when writing narrative essays is like we want to share<br />
our experiences or thoughts to the readers.<br />
It also wants the reader to get involved in the<br />
elements and sequence of the story.<br />
A narrative essay may be a story or it may be about a<br />
story.
Parts<br />
Introduction<br />
• It has three purposes: it captures the reader’s interest, it suggests the importance of the<br />
essay’s topic, and it ends with a thesis sentence and this one can be based on two or more<br />
related points.<br />
Body<br />
• Begins with a topic sentence. If the thesis contains multiple points or assertions, each body<br />
paragraph should support or justify them, It´d be better if it follows the order of the<br />
assertions originally stated in the thesis. Thus, the topic sentence for the first body<br />
paragraph will refer to the first point in the thesis sentence and the topic sentence for the<br />
second body paragraph will refer to the second point in the thesis sentence.<br />
conclusion<br />
• It reconfirms usually the thesis and leaves a reflection or something to think about. It may<br />
also encourage the reader to act according to the points that the essay exposes.

Introduction<br />
Everything had been totally different that Sunday morning, when the two boys<br />
had set out on their walk up the cool, pine-scented mountainside near the village<br />
where they lived.<br />
Body<br />
Paragraph<br />
On clambering down, Peter had tumbled awkwardly to the ground, his leg<br />
bent at a painful angle beneath him. Unable to move, he was forced to wait<br />
where he was, wrapped in Michael’s jacket, while Michael had begun the<br />
long trek down the mountainside to fetch help. Then Michael got an<br />
helicopter, and the pilot and the three mountain rescue workers in the<br />
helicopter agreed that they would have to go back and continue the search<br />
for Michael'’ friend, Peter, on foot.<br />
Conclusion<br />
The doctors decided to keep Peter at the hospital for the night in case of<br />
complications with his leg.<br />
Before leaving, Michael looked down at his friend and patted his shoulder as,<br />
silently, they both vowed never to go walking in the mountains again.
