informational text
A good personal narrative is a powerful story that the writer creates. The writer uses his or her "voice" in the text to create that unique storytelling experience that clearly defines who they are. In other words the audience of readers should know it is you because they can pick up on your personality in how the text is written. Just because you went to Knott's Berry Farm on Saturday does not mean there is a story there. Even if you had a blast. That is why you have to pick out that "small seed" moment like when your father fell out on the Calico River Rapids ride. That doesn't usually happen, right? So that's a good story right there. People would naturally want to hear more and have questions. If you end that story with an important message like, "...and that's why you are supposed to wear the lap belt," then you have a powerful ending that we can all learn from.
