Narrative Blog

1st Person:
My parents always told me I would have an opportunity to make it big. I slowly walked towards the stadium, with my heart in my stomach, and nerves taking hold of emotions. The starting blocks looked desolate but inviting to me, and I was ready. The gun sounded, and we were off. I felt ever muscle in my body twitch, aching, as I tried to explosively win the race. The finsh line was near, and I lunged with ever ounce of power I had toward it. The race was close, but I was gloriously declared the winner. Finally, I had made it, my dreams had come true, I was the reigning olympic 100 meter dash champion.

3rd Person (Limited):
Thomas Driver entered the karaoke competition on the third day of March in Atlanta, Georgia. All of the singers stood on stage, awaiting the random assignment of words to be sung. Thomas walked to the microphone and politely asked for his song. The judges gave him the exciting song, "she bang, she bang." Thomas sang the song with a certain sense of enthusiasm toward the judges. The judges awarded him first place, and Thomas walked off the stage holding his trophy with a smirk on his face.

3rd Person (Omniscent):
Lucy felt unusually skeptical about moving to Minnesota for a new job in a law firm. She stepped onto the unflattering propeller jet, sadly leaving behind her husband and two young children. Suddenly the loudspeaker boisterously sounded with the pilot's voice echoed by mild screams. "Brace yourselves, we are encountering an unexpected engine failure." Lucy's heart fell into the deepest pits of her stomach, her head was seemingly about to explode, because her mind was racing through several sentimental moments with her family. The pilot spoke over the loudspeaker one more time, warning that they were about to undergo the landing. Lucy felt uneasy and overly anxious about the situation, until 'Thump!' The plane had landed safely in an open field, Lucy quickly called her husband and told him of the wild events. Lucy made it home unharmed, and easily made the decision that she would never attempt a trip to Minnesota again.
