Personal narrative writing is writing about a discovery. Write a story about how you discovered something new about yourself, a specific family member or your family in general. The point is to make sure that your story has a lesson learned and that it’s something deeper than the following:
• I learned that moving is difficult
• I learned that playing with matches is a bad idea
• I learned that big sisters are annoying
• I discovered that when a relative dies you feel sad
This experience may be a recent one, or one from long ago.
Either way, try to put us in your frame of mind back then. What were you thinking and feeling? Write from that point of view.
Hopefully, you’ve discovered an interesting story from your family interviews. Write that story! Refer to the Narrative Writing section (begins on page 93) for a small twist on the personal narrative. If you want to tell a story that takes place over a longer period of time, this may be what you need to help you get started.
Use specific details. Notice the difference: 1) “I was eating cereal and watching TV with my stuffed animal.” 2) “I was watching Buzz Light Year and eating Coco Puffs, and my stuffed animal Horsey was still night-night on my lap.”
Put us back in that time and place by using the senses in your writing— sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch:
“Buzz Lightyear was saving Woody again. I loved Buzz’s deep commander voice: ‘To infinity and beyond!’” “The bacon my mom made tasted stiff, salty and burnt.

$8How Our Essay Writing Service Works
First, you will need to complete an order form. It's not difficult but, in case there is anything you find not to be clear, you may always call us so that we can guide you through it. On the order form, you will need to include some basic information concerning your order: subject, topic, number of pages, etc. We also encourage our clients to upload any relevant information or sources that will help.
Complete the order form
Once we have all the information and instructions that we need, we select the most suitable writer for your assignment. While everything seems to be clear, the writer, who has complete knowledge of the subject, may need clarification from you. It is at that point that you would receive a call or email from us.
Writer’s assignment
As soon as the writer has finished, it will be delivered both to the website and to your email address so that you will not miss it. If your deadline is close at hand, we will place a call to you to make sure that you receive the paper on time.
