A narrative essay tells a story. In fact, narrative is another word for story. In this unit, you will

learn how to organize and write a narrative essay. Even though the narrative essay has the same basic

narrative essay has a particular structure, narrative ideas are often used in different writing tasks, such

as argument or compare-contrast.
