1. I would classify the narrative, "The Suddenly Empty Chair," as a subjective narrative. The difference in a subjective narrative and an objective is, that objectives you record details without making any personal evaluation or reaction. In a subjective narrative, you are free to interpret details for your readers. The narrative shows details from in writers point of view such as, "that one day he walked in with bloodshot eyes and stubble outlining his boyish complexion."

I think the writer chose to tell what happened in the order that he did to draw readers in and to make the purpose clear. The way that Choi told the story was to begin at …show more content…

There was dew under the body so they knew it had been set there just after 2 a.m. when temperatures dropped to 38 degrees.

This story is in chronological order. This author may have picked this because It is a way to get his point across easily. If something is in chronological order it means it goes from the event that happened first- the event that happened last. The author could have also done this because the last event can’t be separated from the other events. By this I mean it is woven into the other events and it wouldn’t make sense without the other events.

Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."

A successful descriptive narrative displays the necessary information for a reader to explain or develop speculations within the material. Narrating the text of a story, told through one or more narrators, allows the audience to connect with the feelings of the narrator. A description includes imagery for the audience’s recognition. Furthermore, descriptive narratives have a purpose and are there for a reason. “Shooting an Elephant” and “The Lottery” are both descriptive narratives. Descriptive narratives show a clearer understanding of the passage; therefore, the stronger text is “Shooting an Elephant” because of its detail and the plot’s conflict.
