Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Read the work first to get the gist of what the writer is trying to express through his work. Carefully interpret the events of the past and present if included. Try to understand the points that the author makes and ascertain the general idea of the whole manuscript.

2. Narrate the essay by starting with an introduction of the author and the work in first person. Use "I" to write the story. This indirectly creates an aura of informal dialogue between the reader and yourself.

3. Quote a few of the original lines of text and dialogue from the work in your narrative essay to keep it as real as possible and discuss important events in detail.

4. Make it a point to end the narrative essay with some thought provoking lesson. Use the work of the author to arrive at a lesson obtained by the human experience in the book. Write that experience in your essay to help the readers reflect on life in general.

5. Work on the grammar, punctuation and the style once you have made a rough draft of the narrative essay. Add your unique writing style to the finished piece and double check for errors and information accuracy. Also read aloud the final draft to spot any repetitive wording. Keep it simple yet structured.
