The narrative mode often concentrates on a pinnacle moment, describing it in detail through vivid imagery, engaging dialogue, and a skillfully arranged sequence of selective events. As with most narratives, tension or conflict seeks to be resolved, although not all stories reach neatly solved conclusions. Personal essays may examine one instance or event and reflect on it, or may rely on several first-person anecdotes to support the overall purpose of the composition. Through the exploration of personal experiences in vivid language, the author can reflect on larger cultural and global issues.
