The Personal Narrative
It is common for College Composition courses to begin with a Personal Narrative, and there is a good reason for it. Narratives, or storytelling, make up our everyday lives, whether it be the news, social media posts, movies, or television. This type of writing also has a place in your career. Examples of narrative writing in the workplace include resumes, cover letters, and promotion justifications. If you have ever worked in customer service and had to explain how an event or conversation with a customer took place, that is also an example of a narrative.
