Here is a refresher of what a narrative essay is. It is an essay that tells us a story. The narrative happens in a sequence of events. These events are placed in a logical, and chronlogical order. In a narrative it is better if we know our audience. It can be easier to get our thesis out when we know more about who we are writing for. We have the triangle with the rhetor, text, and the audience. They all effect each other by tying the story together.
The next part goes into more about the structure of an narrative. We have already established that a narrative is a story. The narrative tells us why, and who. How do we construct this narrative beyond the usual outline of introduction, body, and conclusion? First dig into the body of the text. We establish a theme, a setting, a plot, and characters. The theme tells the reader the message behind the story. It also explains the motives of characters within the story. Second, the setting establishes where and when the story took place. Third, the plot takes from the beginning to the end, describing the event, how characters react to the event, what will the characters do, and what is the final result. Finally, the characters are the people who play a role in the story. They create the roles in which the story takes place. Once the body of the narrative has been established you will find much easier to write your thesis and conclusion
