The narrative style of writing is probably one of the easiest forms of writing. They are about your own personal experiences and are told from your point of view. It is writing that shapes who you are and your different events in your life. Narratives are personal and informal and you can write about anything that you want. In "On Being A Cripple", Nancy Mairs reflects on her life and the struggles she has had to overcome. She has learned to live with her disease and even though she has struggles, she is is grateful to be alive. I think that it was awesome that she shared her story because it is very inspiring and we were able to see what she has to go through in her life. Narratives can be about personal struggles, successes, or just any story of your life that has importance to you. Personal narratives allows readers to explore other people's lives and find out who they really are. When writing in the narrative style, the writer is able to communicate with the writer directly. The narrative style of writing has always been really easy to me and it has always been my favorite form of writing. There are not a lot of restrictions or a specific form that you have to follow and you are able to incorporate your feelings and thoughts into the paper. I have had many different opportunities and life experiences that shape who I am and that I could share with others. You do not have to be the best writer to write a narrative and anyone can write one. Narratives are just like keeping a journal and you do not have to hold back. You can write about pretty much anything you want. I have not written my narrative yet for class and I am still not sure what I want to write it about. It is hard to pick an event that explains who I am but I am sure that I will come up with something to write about. I hope that others will get to see who I am and what my life is about.
