Study Notes

Narrative Essay Endings

A narrative essay should have a conclusion that makes the story feel complete and finished, leaving the reader satisfied.
A good conclusion keeps the reader interested and emotionally connected to the story.

Capturing Emotion

A way to end a narrative essay is to reflect on emotions or feelings, tugging at the reader's heartstrings to make them connect with the story.
Example: Kevin Henkes' book Chrysanthemum, where the author writes about the girl's feelings throughout the story, creating a warm, fuzzy feeling at the end.
Henkes' ending shows how the character's emotions come full-circle, leaving the reader satisfied.

Speaking to the Reader Directly

Ending a narrative essay with a question or a statement that speaks directly to the reader keeps them thinking about the story.
Example: Jon Scieszka's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, where the wolf asks the reader for sugar, making them imagine what they would do in a similar situation.
This type of ending brings the reader into the story and encourages them to think critically.
