Composing an Outline for a Personal Narrative Essay Combined with Description and Expression, Short 2
I. OUTLINE OF THE PERSONAL NARRATIVE
a) - Introduction (from the beginning to 'arranged neatly on the table.'): scene of a birthday party.
- Body (from 'Happy indeed' to 'just nodded without saying.'): Trinh's birthday gift to Trang.
b) The story recounts the 'birthday gift' narrated by “me” named Trang in the first person.
- The story takes place at Trang's house in the morning, during a gathering of friends to celebrate Trang's birthday.
- The story unfolds amidst the group of friends, involving three characters: Thanh, Trinh, and Trang. The main character is Trinh (who brings about surprise in the story). Each character has a distinct personality: Trang is lively and hurried, while Trinh is cheerful and calm…
- The story is very interesting, filled with joy and anticipation. The climax of the story is the anticipation of Trinh's arrival and ends when Trinh's birthday gift is 'revealed.' The story concludes when Trang understands the significance of the birthday gift that Trinh gave and is pleasantly surprised because it is a symbol of a beautiful memory shared by the two under the loquat tree.
- The descriptive and expressive elements immerse the reader in Trang's anticipation for Trinh and then reveal Trinh's truly admirable heart. The descriptive and expressive elements elevate the meaning of the birthday gift into a memorable and impressive moment. 'It's not just a hastily bought gift from a sidewalk stall or a store, something that can be bought by just spending money, but it's a heartfelt appreciation from Trinh; Trinh has nurtured, cherished, and thought about it for days on end.'
c) Sequence: Present - Past - Present
II. PRACTICE
Question 1: Outline the story 'The Little Match Girl'
- Introduction: Set the scene on New Year's Eve and introduce the family of the little match girl, the main character of the story.
- Body:
+ The little match girl fails to sell matches and is afraid to return home because she fears her father's wrath. She seeks refuge by a wall to avoid the cold, but the wind still torments her.
+ Then she takes a risk to light a match to warm herself. Each time she strikes a match, she sees a beautiful and warm vision.
+ Initially, “it seemed as though she was sitting in front of a cozy stove” the warmth of the match making her “very comfortable”. Then the match goes out, and the little girl returns to the freezing reality, her limbs numb with cold. Next, on striking the second match, she dreams of a sumptuous feast “complete with roast goose”. The match goes out, and she faces her reality again. She strikes the third match, and she sees a Christmas tree “glittering with thousands of candles”. But then the candles also go out. The fourth match is lit, and she “sees her grandmother smiling at her”.
+ Finally, she strikes the remaining matches, clinging to her grandmother as she flies up.
- Conclusion:
+ The character dies from the cold under the cold snow.
+ The story of The Little Match Girl has moved her because of the harsh, impoverished life of a little girl. Thinking of her current life, being cared for and loved by her family, she realizes how fortunate she is.
