a. Focus on a purpose

(Define)

Focusing on a purpose means staying on topic and proving the point I want to make. It means having a reason to write and making sure that the reason I am writing is emphasized throughout the text.

(Example)

In my Narrative Essay, my purpose is to entertain and to show that I learn an important lesson: not to make poor choices. Here is an entertaining quote to demonstrate that I meet my goal. I write, "When I stumbled over the tree trunk, I realized that when God was handing out agility, he saw me trip over my own feet and decided it was too difficult a task." I make a joke here to make the reader laugh and to entertain him or her. Later on, I focus on my purpose when I write, "I have learned not to react to a stupid dare. It took me jumping off a roof, a shed, and over a cactus to realize that I shouldn't let a friend's challenge overtake my rational thought.

(Conclusion)

Since I am able to focus on my purpose to entertain and show I learn a lesson in my narrative by being funny and explaining the lesson I learn, I am able to focus on a purpose.
