    A personal narrative is a personal story. Remember that we have been talking about personal narratives? The word personal means that you own it. This is my personal sweater and these are my personal shoes. So, a personal story is a story about me. Can you say it with me class? “A personal narrative is a story about me.

    After writing my narrative, I feel that I told the story quite well. I believe I did because my personal narrative takes the reader on my journey to reading with confidence. In the text I give the readers insight into why I struggled with reading out loud and how I overcame it. I think that my piece of writing can be improved by creating more descriptive memories.

    I am going to analyze these two texts from the scope of the captivity narrative as a genre.
