Your task is to write a 750-1000 word essay about a memorable event in your life.
ESSAY PROMPT
Annie Dillard's and Louise Erdrich's essays are observations of animals that lead back to reflections on their own lives. Write your own personal essay, following these steps.
Write about a memorable event in your life.
Explain how this event led to an insight about your own life or about the human condition.
Organize your ideas into a unified essay.
Step Two: Prewrite
Brainstorm possible topics.
List memorable events or encounters with nature or other people that you remember. Ask yourself questions about ways in which each encounter might be emblematic of a general truth.
Your essay will progress from the personal to the universal and include specific details to help the reader understand the insights gained from the experience.
Get Organized
Decide on the structure of your narrative and create an outline or use a story map to reflect your ideas.
Look back at Living Like Weasels and Local Deer to help you. Ask yourself these questions about each one:
How does the story begin? What techniques are used to engage the audience?
How does the writer develop the narrative? What is the sequence of events? How are the main ideas organized?
How does the writer use setting, people or characters, conflict, and events to reveal a theme about experiencing the natural world?
How does the narrative end? Is there a final observation or reflection on nature?
Flesh out your narrative with descriptive details. Visualize the places and people in your narrative, and write down details about them. Be sure to include qualities and characteristics that make them unique.
Record some ideas for revealing the insight you gained from this experience.
Draft Your Essay
Use your outline to write your essay.
Remember to
Begin by introducing your readers to the setting, people, and experience that will be central to the narrative.

Write from the first-person point of view (opens in a new window), and allow your own unique voice to shine through.
Provide a powerful conclusion. A personal narrative should end with reflections on the events and experiences that have been described.
