All of the following elements characterize a narrative essay except a. a thesis statement. b. vivid descriptions c. rhetorical devices. d. plot structure.

A. Thesis statement

Explanation:

A narrative essay is a type of essay that has a single theme. All incidents, happenings, and characters revolve around a single presented idea. It describes people, presents their conversation, and narrates their experiences to teach lessons to readers.  For these reasons, there is a possibility to use vivid descriptions, picturing the main characters, situations, and etc. So, option B is also wrong.

Also, this is a form of writing where the author focuses on the lesson (experience) that he/she has learned from the past. To show everything in greater detail and prove the idea he/she can use different rhetorical devices: metaphors, similes, persuasive techniques, and etc. So option C is wrong.

A narrative essay has three main elements of a plot: character, theme, and dialogue. Definitely, it has a plot. Option D is wrong.

To sum up, vivid descriptions, rhetorical devices, and plot can characterize the narrative essay.

But a thesis statement is not an element of characterization. It is an element of the structure of an essay. As it is a statement that appears at the middle or end of the introductory paragraph. It summarizes the main point or claim of the essay (usually expressed in one sentence).
