Question

Which of the following is not done while writing a narrative essay?
A. Create an atmosphere
B. Develop the setting
C. Restart the thesis statement
D. Identify a source of tension

Answer 1

Hint: Narrative essay is a type of essay that has a single motif, or a central point, around which the whole narrative revolves. All incidents, happenings, and characters revolve around a single motif presented in the narrative. A narrative essay is similar to a simple five-paragraph essay.

Complete answer:
Option A) Create an atmosphere – is an incorrect answer because we create an atmosphere or giving base of the essay so that it creates interest for the reader. Thus, atmosphere creation is an incorrect answer because it is done in writing a narrative essay.
Option B) Develop the setting – is an incorrect answer because setting impacts the narrative. Setting is the time and place where a scene occurs. It can help set the mood, influence the way characters behave, affect the dialogue, foreshadow events, invoke an emotional response, reflect the society in which the characters live, and sometimes even plays a part in the story. Thus, this is an incorrect option.
Option C) Restart the thesis statement – is the correct answer because thesis plays an important role in narrative essays as thesis is the main idea or theme that you are trying to convey in an essay. However, restarting the thesis is not suitable for writing essays. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option D) Identify a source of tension – Narrative tension is used to describe unresolved and unfulfilled events and needs. When characters in a story are blocked from gaining what they want, they experience narrative tension. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Restart the thesis statement (option C) is not done while writing a narrative essay

Note:
When written in story format, the essay must include all of the key components of a good story – this includes the introduction, the plot, the relevant character profiles, the setting, the climax and the conclusion. The essay should have a relevant point.
