Read the paragraph that lukas is planning to include in his narrative essay.
running is my life. beginning last summer i practiced every day from the early break of dawn until the heat of the midday sun forced me to take a break. sipping from my bottle of icy water to keep myself hydrated, i dreamed about running a mile in under ten minutes to compete in the statewide race.
what should lukas do with this paragraph?
he should put it in the beginning of the essay.
he should put it in the middle of the essay.
he should put it at the end of the essay.
he should delete it from the essay.

The correct answer is A.

Lukas should put this parragraph at the begining of his narrative essay because it presents the main theme that will be addressed.

By starting with this passage, Lukas will make clear what the subject of his story will be: his passion for running.

He should put it in the beginning of the essay.

Explanation:

This is a great entry to the rest of the essay, he presents himself and his goals, and what he is doing to achieve them, in a very powerful narrative way, where the reader conects with him and his emotions.

answer: c

explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

too much?
