It is a short entertaining or interesting story about a real incident or person. (Nagpal 2016) Purposes of an ANECDOTE to bring cheer to persuade to reminisce to inspire to caution  TO BRING CHEER Stories pop up anywhere and these are just sometimes making people laugh to brighten their mood.  TO BRING CHEER At the dinner, a Grade 11 learner shared his story on his first day at school when he got lost and attended a wrong class.  TO REMINISCE In most anecdotes, people are talking about their experiences in the past. They try to look back on moments in their lives and share the joy of that time with others.  TO REMINISCE A mother tells her children a story about her life in the province when she was teenager.  TO CAUTION Sometimes, just giving rules for individuals is not effective. Sharing to them frightening stories of dangers can be helpful for them to realize the possible consequences of their actions.  TO CAUTION Before beginning a lecture on not following traffic rules, a father tells his son an incident of collision that caused many lives due to ignoring traffic signs. TO PERSUADE OR INSPIRE Sometimes, people share stories on how they surpassed their struggles in life. These, most of the time, give encouragement to others who have been in similar situations. The message usually conveys successes in life as a fruit of hard work. TO PERSUADE or INSPIRE Before beginning a remedial class, the teacher tells the students how a boy who used to struggle in reading managed to be a proficient reader.  Question: 1. In the first part of the video, we are introduced to Efren Peñaflorida, 2009 CNN Hero of the Year. To whom does he compare his friend and mentor, KB Manalaysay?  Question: 2. What does he mean by this comparison?  Question: 3. What was Efren’s problem when KB met him? How was the latter able to help him?  Question: 4. How has KB’s simple act of kindness affected Efren? How was it able to affect not only Efren but many other kids like Kesz, for example?  Question: 5. What do you think is the message of the video? What lesson does it want to share to the viewers? The Differences Between Anecdotes and Stories Anecdotes are short. At most, they will consist of a paragraph, or maybe two paragraphs. Stories are longer. When we write stories, we can include a lot more detail, and we will spend more effort on drawing the reader into the scene so that they feel part of it. Can an Anecdote Be a Single Sentence? Yes, It Can “My cat always cuddles me in the morning.” “George is so polite, he always shakes hands instead of just greeting me.” “When I was a student, I worked in a bookshop after classes.” How to Write a Great Anecdote Choose a relevant event that happened to you or someone else (even a famous figure). Is your story interesting, amusing, inspiring or thought-provoking? Try to aim for at least one of these. Structure your ideas. Tell your story briefly. Draw a conclusion. Childhood Anecdote Examples It's very common for people to share stories about their childhood experiences with friends and other family members. Reminiscing in this way can be a lot of fun. It's also a great way to get a conversation started or keep one going. After all, everyone has childhood experiences they can share, and to which others can relate. When I was a child, my family went on a summer vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains every year. One year, my aunt saw a black bear while she was hiking. She was so terrified, she ended up sitting on a boulder for an hour just to make sure it had gotten far enough away from her. She still won't go hiking alone anywhere. Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around the time I spent helping my mother plant and tend a vegetable garden in our backyard. She let me help till the rows and plant the seeds. Going near okra plants made her itch, so she let me pick all of that myself. To this day, okra makes me think of her. Anecdote Examples About Interesting Events People experience interesting things throughout their lives, not just during childhood. Sharing anecdotes about one's experiences is a fun way to interact with friends, coworkers and family members. One evening, I went to see a movie with my roommate and some other people from our dorm. I drove my car to the theater. Imagine our surprise when we got to the car to find the windshield covered with slices of ham. To this day, I don't know who put ham on my car or why. When we were in graduate school, we had no money. My then-boyfriend (now husband) had a gas card on his father's account for emergencies. There were several times that we had no money for groceries, so we would go food shopping at the gas station convenience store using that credit card. His dad was not happy Different Purposes for Telling an Anecdote Anecdotes can serve a variety of purposes. Whenever an anecdote is introduced, either in real life or fiction, it provides background or characterization information. An author might write a scene where one of the characters tells the other a bit of their backstory, usually to create depth and intrigue. In real life, anecdotes often convey meaning via stories instead of direct explanation.
