College Narrative Essay Outlines

College Narrative Essay OutlinesWhen I first started writing a college narrative essay, I wondered how to start my outlines. The guide that I used was an old one, from the 1970s, but it still worked. The basic idea is to focus on the key facts about a person or group of people that I was writing about and to make a list of information that I wanted to get across to the reader.I did not realize how important the key facts were until I wrote the outline. It took a long time to write the essay because of all the little details that I had forgotten to cover in the outline. In my opinion, the main topic should be one paragraph of two paragraphs. It is best to start at the beginning, especially if you are writing an essay that has many events.Your first paragraph will probably start with your own names and your qualifications. Use a personal anecdote in this paragraph and describe a time when you went away for a few days. Then describe what happened when you returned. It is always better t o use a personal anecdote in your first paragraph than something that is simply true.Most writers like to begin their essay with a thesis statement in the second paragraph. I have included this in my essay outlines for years. The point of the statement is to give the reader a sense of what is being discussed. This is sometimes known as 'a hook' and you need to place it in the second paragraph.I believe that a very important element in the essay is the first paragraph. This is your opportunity to capture the reader's attention and to persuade them to want to read the rest of the essay. You can do this in several ways, such as quoting directly from the person or group or explaining what they are doing or discussing.Usually when writing an essay, you will give an example of your personal qualities in this paragraph. This might be about yourself or about some aspect of the people or group. You can also relate this example to the topic of the essay. For example, I might say, 'Here is how I used to feel when I sat in that first class and studied with those three brilliant students.'Once you have finished your first paragraph, you are ready to continue. Follow this with the second paragraph and then continue your text by writing the third paragraph and finally the fourth paragraph.As you can see, the basic idea is that you first outline the event and then you create a detailed outline of the topic of the essay. It is all up to you.
