Overview:
In this unit, you learned about the elements of narrative and descriptive essays. Now,
you will write one paragraph that makes use of strong description of someone that is
important to you or had a meaningful impact on your life. The person should be
significant to you. It can be a real person, a fictional person from a book, a character
from a movie: The person just has to be significant to you.
Instructions:
• Write one paragraph about a specific person that left a significant and positive
impression on your life. (Please be aware that if you share information that is
distressing, then your instructor is mandated to share that information with our
counseling center.)
• Consider the following questions when writing this paragraph:
o What about this person makes them so significant to you?
o How would you describe that person to someone who does not know
them? Consider appearance, personality, and sensory imagery when
building this description.
Narrative and descriptive writing is a combination of description and reflection. You want
to include specific details to show the reader what you are writing about and then reflect
on your subject. Remember to use the five sentences to allow the subject to come alive
for the reader.
