1. To Bring Cheer examples of anecdote.)
Stories pop up anywhere and these
are just sometimes making people
laugh to brighten their mood. here is
an example of an anecdote meant to
look back happy memories:
 At the dinner, a grade 11 learner
shared his story on his first day at
school when he got lost and
attended a wrong class.

2. To Reminisce
In most anecdotes, people are talking
about their experiences in the past.
they try to look back on moments in
their lives and share the joy of that
time with others. here is an example
of an anecdote with a hint of
reminiscence:
 A mother tells her children a story
about her life in the province when
she was teenager.

3. To Caution
Sometimes, just giving rules for
individuals is not effective. Sharing to
them frightening stories of dangers
can be helpful for them to realize the
possible consequences of their
actions. Here is an example of
cautionary anecdote:
 Before beginning a lecture on not
following traffic rules, a father tells
his son an accident of collision
that caused many lives due to
ignoring traffic signs.

4. To Persuade or Inspire
Sometimes, people share stories on
how they surpassed their struggles in
life. These, most of the time, give
encouragement to others who have
been in similar situations. the
message usually conveys successes
 in life as a fruit of hard work. here is
an example of an inspirational
anecdote:
 Before beginning remedial class,
the teacher tells the students how
a boy who used to struggle in
reading managed to be a
proficient reader.
