    Here are the rules for a narrative essay --

    Narration is telling a story from a certain viewpoint, and there is usually a reason for the telling. All narrative essays will have characters, setting, climax, and most importantly, a plot. The plot is the focus of the story and is usually revealed chronologically, but there are sometimes flash forwards and flash backs.

    In writing a narrative essay, remember to:

    Include sensory and emotional details, so the reader will experience the story, not just read about it
    Have the story support the point you are making, and make reference to that point in the first sentence.
    Write in the first or third person.

    I have try written an eXample..
    Perhaps you be able to help me to spot whether can be used?

    Any argument should do it..
    As long is a Narrative Essay
    Any other suggestion?
    Here is my essay..


    In a small world, hard for me to believe that I have fallen out with my friend and I don't know how to move on. For some context, I'm a guy, my friend is female, and no, there are no romantic intentions at all (I know some may find that hard to believe!) Our friendship also includes another person, also female and over the last 3 years, the 3 of us have become incredibly close to each other, to the point where we are almost soul mates and have shared just about every emotion there is. I love them both dearly, more than I ever expected I could love a friend.

    So, last week I found out that the girls have been planning, in secret, to go on a holiday to New York. The following day, I confronted my friends about it and from one of them, I received an apology and we are friends again. They had been keeping it secret as they didn't want me to feel jealous and I accept that and, although I am jealous, I have told them that that is my problem to deal with and not their. There is some history of why I am feeling jealous, and it has felt to me for a few months that we do fewer things together and the two girls do lots of things.

    However, the other friend did not talk to me about it other than sending me a text message to say I was being childish, and the next day I received an awful e-mail from her. Paraphrasing, it said she was incredibly sad regarding what has happened and that she feels so let down and that she does not want to talk about it.

    I did eventually speak to her, without pressing her into it, and now she tells me that she is upset with something that I did 5 months ago.

    She was seeing some guy back then who was being pretty nasty to her and she said to me and the other friend "If he comes over on Friday, then I'll see him, otherwise you guys can come over instead but I won't know till Friday daytime". This did annoy me and a few days later, I thought I would let her know that it felt like being treated like a second class person. I thought that was the end of it, but it seems she has been fuming over it ever since.

    So since last week, we haven't spoken and I'm heartbroken. All I want to do is talk to her and try to sort it out, but I'm stuck in this state of limbo until something is done. What I don't want to do is go against her wishes and try to coerce her into talking to me for fear that it will just push her away again.

    Some additional info about her. She has been feeling really, really low lately and that is obviously a factor. Also I'm not 100% sure that the 5 month old argument is really a factor and perhaps she only brought it up out of spite.

    I must live in a really small world with very few friends. Now, it turns out that I have upset both of them in various ways, and they have turned on me. Truth be told, I really don't like myself any longer, don't like who I have become. I don't known when it started, but I have fallen out with my friends and don't know how to move on. Just to add a bit of context, I'm a guy. Normally, I am a very cool guy and even a handsome and well-put-together guy. One of my friends is female (no, there are no romantic intentions at all--and I know some may find that hard to believe!). My friendship with her includes another person who is also female. During the past three years, the three of us have become incredibly close to each other, even to the point where we are almost soul mates. We've each had our ups and downs in life with illness and school problems and family upsets. Because of all that, we've shared just about every emotion there is. I love them both dearly, more than I ever expected I could love another human being (even my mom).

    You said you need four pages. Four pages for each essay? Four essays, one page per essay?

    I had taken your first paragraph, made it longer, and broke it up more.

    I rewrote only the first paragraph. The essay makes no sense now using only what I wrote. There is no argument.

    There is no friends' argument.

    What I wrote (based on your first paragraph) is only the beginning. There is no middle or end.

    2. WRITE A PERSUASIVE ESSAY REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF SAVING MONEY.

    This should not be hard. Why does someone save money?

    3. WRITE AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY E XPLAINING THE POSITI VES AND NEGATI VES STUDYING LAST MINUTES.

    This makes no sense. Did you copy it correctly?

    4. WRITE AN E XPLANATORY ESSAY ON HOW MIRRORS ARE MADE.

    Easy to find information on the Internet.

    Persuasive Essay

    This is an argumentative paper trying to sway the reader's opinion towards your own. Persuasive essays can range from controversial topics such as abortion, to every-day opinions such as "french fries are better than potato chips."

    Just some tips:

    The main point of a persuasive essay, is to convince the reader to think the same way you do. Remember that it is not an informative essay, and try not to include conversational tone. Your thesis and supporting statements should be strongly written. In a persuasive essay, never use "I" statements, such as "I believe, or I think." because it makes your opinion sound more one-sided and weak. State your opinions as if they were facts, even if they are just your own opinions.


    Exposition or Explanatory Essay


    Expository essays can compare, explore and discuss problems, or tell a story. An exposition essay gives information about various topics to the reader. It:

    Informs
    Describes
    Explains

    In writing an exposition, the text needs to:

    Be concise and easy to understand
    Give different views on a subject or report on a situation or event
    Explain something that may be difficult to understand as you write your essay.

    Remember that your purpose is to explain.

    Argumentative Essay

    In an argumentative essay the writer is trying to convince the reader by demonstrating the truth or falsity of a topic. The writer's position will be backed up with certain kinds of evidence, like statistics or opinions of experts.

    The writer is not just giving an opinion, but making an argument for or against something and supporting that argument with data.

    To know how to write an essay in an argumentative way, you have to research and backup what you say in the text.
