Narrative Essay
A narrative essay is a type of essay that has a single motif, or a central point, around which the
whole narrative revolves. All incidents, happenings, and characters revolve around a single
motif presented in the narrative. A narrative essay is similar to a simple five-paragraph essay, in
that it has the same format. It is only different in that it is a narrative, having characters,
incidents, and dialogues.

How does it differ from a short story?

A short story always leaves readers at a critical juncture with the desire to discover more. In
contrast, a narrative essay ends when the readers are fully satisfied. They do not wish to read
any more or do not want to discover anymore.

Reader’s Theatre
It is a style of theater in which the actors do not memorize their lines. Actors use only vocal
expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as
sets, costumes, intricate blocking, and movement.
