Narrative
When we start writing essay, we have to think about 2 things.
1: You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader
2: More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader
One of the common mistakes inexperienced writers make is filing to move past early stages in the writing process in which they are writing for-or writing to- themselves only. Surely, I have experienced this mistake and I did not realize if I make a mistake. An essay is to tell ideas the reader and to persuade the reader in order to understand the own ideas. So, a writer needs finding essay’s purpose and focus deeply. After finding purpose and focus, the writer will start free writing. The writer should try jotting down everything that pop into his head about his topic by using brainstorm for at least ten minutes. Next, the writer has to make sentences and paragraph and essay. There are a lot of techniques for free writing, the boomerang, clustering, and cubing. If the writer can look various a viewpoint about topic, his essay will be wonderful and intelligent essay. After you finding focus and important point, you should discover your audience. The readers do not like be bored. Readers hate confusing and disorder. Readers want to think and learn something. Review your audience’s knowledge of and attitude toward your topic before you begin your first draft. We have to think not only writing an essay clearly and amusing but also ours ideas or topic. Do not think one side. We need thinking about own desire and readers desire.
After I read this chapter, I changed my mind. I thought that the essay is just to tell my ideas, but it is wrong. The essay is kinds of entertainment for reader.

    However, in my opinion, one of the other essays is not interesting as the above one. The second essay without title is a little boring for me. On this first page, just a few paragraph shows up with short and flat thesis. For example, “The drive up to Canada seemed to take an eternity.”(1). And the essay needs some transit words or sentences because every paragraph seems like an independent story. For instance, “So Robbie offered me a way out. I had four days to get my things in order.” (11). It is hard for me to figure out the connection of context. In addition, the essay indeed more description words, like comparative words or description of portrait. But in this essay, it just shows that “The airport was empty.”(21). Yes, it is an empty sentence which needs rhetoric to make it perfect. I think if the writer has more patience, he or she will write a better narrative…

    In the real world today, people from every background have faced the reality of social life and where they believe they would thrive the most. Although we think we are always right in any given situation, it never really turns out that way and encounters with fitting in and the decisions made to be included in a certain social group acknowledge the fact that sometimes we are wrong. A quote by Rick Warren states, “Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.” This comment describes that once we become a follower, it is difficult to change, and may become trapped in the life of doing acts and deeds for the leader who takes all the credit while we starve just to keep in the category of a follower. In both short stories, “Greasy Lake” and “Initiation”, the main characters are confronted with decisions that makes it very hard for them to pull themselves out of. The two stories commonly share the same message that maturity, temptations, and peer-pressure arise all the time and how we deal with it determines our future.…
