Example of a narrative paragraph
Learning how to ride a bike for the first time was a
nerve racking independent moment. I was about
five years old when my sister informed me that I
was too old to still be riding a bike with training
wheels. That was the time I decided not to depend
on them anymore. My sister and I went outside
and started to take the little wheels off my bike.
After my bike went through the transformation, I
was now ready for the big moment. With
butterflies in my stomach, I slowly got on the bike,
and with my shaky hands, I gripped the handles
tightly. I was so afraid that she would let go, yet I
was determined to ride this bike on my own. Next
with a little push from her, I started to peddle. The
faster my bike went, the faster my heart raced.
Finally I looked back nervously and noticed that
my sister let go of my bike a long time ago. I was so
excited that I accomplished freedom on my bike
that I forgot to peddle. The next step I remember,
I was lying on the ground, yet I did not care
because of the adrenaline rush. I will never forget
the exhilarating moment and growing up stage of
riding a bike without training wheels.
- Lack of suspense and
foreshadowing
- Show your audience-don't
tell them
- Information overload
