Personal Essays

Narrative Essays

Argumentative Essays

1- Personal Essays

“The essays, in which personal views of the writer are written about a certain topic, are called personal essays”. In such types of essays, the biographical history of the writer is described. The writer chooses a certain topic and starts giving his views about the topic and extends it to a complete description. The body structure of personal essays consists of three main parts like, introduction, the personal views of the writer and the conclusion.

As these essays include the personal views and feelings of the writer so the readers enjoy such essays. In this way, they have a chance to know about the writer’s personality. It is natural that humans are always conscious and ready to know something about someone. So, in this regard personal essays have great appeal to readers.

• The first thing to write a personal essay is to select such a topic which has description only on the writer’s personal views or feelings.

• The next step is starting to describe the importance of the selected topic in daily life and give its introduction. Tell the readers that how long this (selected topic) is important to achieve the best future goals.

• The third step is starting to give personal views about the topic in the essay. For example, you have to say why did you choose this topic? And then start to write that Why do you like this? Why do you prefer this topic over all others? Tell readers that How your selected topic is beneficial to human beings and to society? And make almost 3 or 4 paragraphs on this.

Because in personal essays only the writer is included while in narrative essays many characters are included and they all have their dissimilar roles in the story-like essay. The body figure of these essays is the same as personal essays.

The first paragraph consists of the introduction of characters that are present in the essay, second paragraph consists of the roles of all characters by making a complete story and the last paragraph will consist of conclusion. Conclusion means that the result will come from the roles of characters. And what form will the essay take? As these essays are like stories, they have an interesting effect on the readers. If the writer is writing the role of one character then readers will be unconscious about the roles of other characters.

This interest attracts the attention of readers towards narrative essays. Reading narrative essays is a good source for relaxation of mind.

• The first step is to select an effective and good topic which has a description by making a story on it. After selecting the topic, the first thing is to show a little glimpse of background on readers.

• Then the writer should introduce his feelings about the person, place or anything else about which he wants to write. He has to tell me how his meeting with new people affects him? What was the behavior of new people with him? What did he like or dislike about their manners? Briefly speaking he should give the introduction of all characters in the first paragraph.

• Then the writer should explain the roles of characters briefly with whom he met. Their manners or bad manners, experiences or lack of experiences, ethics or ignorance, everything should be discussed. At this, the writer should make almost 3 to 4 paragraphs. If the writer wants to explain the place, then he should write the place name, where it has been situated? Or he should tell about the beauty or ugliness of the scenes in that place.

• At last, the writer should give the ending lines by winding up the essay. He must make a strong conclusion by making its readers happy or sad according to the situation or theme.
