A personal essay is your narrative or story. It is as the title implies distinctly personal. This is your
chance to write about a topic near and dear to your heart AND its significance to you. This essay is about
a moment that changed or deeply affected you. This is your story. Narrative essays feature conflict,
dialogue, and vivid detail. The essay should be at least four, typed, double-spaced pages.
Topic: You may select ONE of the following:
o Choose an important and significant event in your life (This can be happy or sad).
o Choose a time in your life when you felt the effects of discrimination or hatred.
Using your five senses, describe the event and how it changed you or your life
Use figurative language, i.e., similes and metaphors to enliven your writing at least five
examples.
Explain the significance of the time or event. Show me how it affected your life. Show me how it
changed you, mentally or physically or emotionally. If you do not explain the significance and
effects, you will not pass the paper. ONE CAVEAT This does not mean you should say, The
significance of this event is. Try to incorporate the significance into your essay creatively.
Use at least three examples of internal or external dialogue. Remember, dialogue is the words of
another so remember to use quotation marks.
Remember to use the MLA paper format
I do not need the entirety of the essay I just need a happy conclusion or beginning that can be edited with my personal notes
